AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The elegance of old Japan, to elevate your finest moments over coffee.
Let yourself be drawn to this charming antique Japanese coffee service of 18 pieces, whose delicate cobalt blue hues and elegant floral motifs evoke the refinement of Japanese tableware.
Consisting of 9 cups and 9 matching saucers, this fine porcelain set features a magnificent traditional Ume design, representing graceful branches of plum blossoms, delicately highlighted by rich ornamental borders.
In Japan, plum blossoms are especially valued for their beauty and symbolism: heralding spring, they embody renewal, hope and perseverance. A pretty story that adds charm and poetry to this service.
A timeless service, at once elegant and full of character.
Imagine it laid out on a beautiful table, accompanied by a few treats, to share a coffee after a festive meal, to welcome your guests, or simply to transform a daily break into a special moment.
Its timeless marriage of white and cobalt blue allows it to fit just as well in a classic or vintage interior as in a contemporary, Japandi, or Asian-art-inspired décor.
It will also find a place in a display cabinet, where its refined motifs can be enjoyed as true decorative elements.
Origin and characteristics
Of Japanese origin, this service dates to the first half of the 20th century, with a more precise dating possible. The pieces bear a blue “MADE IN JAPAN” mark on their base, attesting to their provenance.
