Japan - Coffee and tea service (14) - Servizio The Caffe...

Vintage tea/coffee service in fine Japanese porcelain (Satsuma / Kutani export style), dating from the mid-20th century (approximately the '60s-'70s). Each piece is finely hand-decorated with traditional motifs depicting women in kimono (Geisha) immersed in a landscape with cherry blossoms (sakura), wooden bridges and mountains. Edges, cuffs and details are finished in the classic coral red color with gold detailing. The set comprises 14 pieces in total: - 1 large Teapot / Coffee pot with lid (maximum height about 18-20 cm) - 1 Sugar bowl with lid and two handles - 1 Creamer / small jug with lid - 5 tea/coffee cups in thin translucent porcelain - 6 coordinating saucers Conditions: Vintage item in overall excellent cosmetic condition, hand-painted decorations and gilding well preserved. TRANSPARENCY NOTE: The original 6-person service is incomplete as there is 1 saucer more than the cups (there are 5 cups and 6 saucers). Also note the natural, mild wear of time on the decorative gilding of the rims. Shipping and Delivery: Available for hand pickup locally or tracked shipping with careful, protective packing.
