AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large blue-and-white eggshell porcelain tea service with a showpiece vase – Japan & China, 20th century (15-piece)
Delicate, translucent eggshell porcelain. Hand-painted with the classic motif “Ume” (plum blossom), pine needles, and bamboo.
Main service (13 pieces) Japan, Shōwa era (c. 1960–1980). Marked with the rare export collector mark "日本特製" (Nihon Tokusei) – translated: “Specially made in Japan.”
- 6 teacups with 6 saucers (height 4 cm, cup diameter 7 cm, plate 11 cm)
- 1 teapot with lid (height and width 17 cm)
- 1 sugar bowl with lid (height 10 cm, width 12 cm)
- 1 creamer (height 9 cm, 9 cm)
Ornamental and display pieces:
- 1 large ginger jar vase: Japan, to match the service, unmarked. (height 16 cm, width 11 cm)
- 1 miniature vase: China, Jingdezhen, 20th century. Underside mark with the stylized good luck character “寿” (Shou) for longevity. (height 6 cm, width 4 cm)
All in excellent condition, display pieces without damage. My father brought these about 35–40 years ago from his political business trips to Japan/China.
