Kutani-stijl - Tea service (30) - Egg porcelain - Geisha-pattern porcelain collection

Extensive 30-piece Japanese porcelain tea service from circa 1930–1960, richly decorated in the traditional Geisha Ware / Kutani style.
The service is executed in fine, relatively thin-walled porcelain and decorated with colorful Japanese garden scenes featuring ladies in traditional dress, flowers, pavilions, landscapes and water features. The decoration is built up from fine reddish-brown contour lines with accents in green, blue, yellow, pink and iron red. The characteristic red rims and hand-finished details give each piece its own appearance.
Several pieces bear red base marks; one piece is marked with “IMPORT”. The exact manufacturer has not been identified. Because of the decoration, craftsmanship and design, the set is therefore carefully described as Japanese Geisha Ware in Kutani style.
