AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Early 20th-century vintage Japanese teaware in eggshell porcelain, consisting of five saucers and five cups, all delicately hand-decorated (for this reason none of the items is exactly identical to the others, with subtle differences in stroke, color, and color fill, making each piece unique). The blue cup has cracks from breakage that have been highlighted in the corresponding photographs with yellow highlighting.
All of the items show minimal signs of wear and will add a refined touch to a corner of your home, or will serve as a precious addition for special occasions.
Various sizes; see the photos for more details.
Careful packing and insured shipping.
