This Nippon Porcelain Tea Set features a flared silhouette and a delicate texture, offering a reverent aesthetic for curated kitchen/dining displays.

This exquisite ensemble, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, showcases the mastery of Japanese porcelain artistry with a meticulously hand-painted landscape scene. Each piece—the elegant, high-necked teapot, the four dainty cups, and the matching saucers—is enveloped in a serene vista of rolling hills, tranquil water, and traditional dwellings, all framed by the soft, ethereal blooms of a cherry blossom tree. The artistry is further elevated by moriage-style accents, where raised beads of enamel provide a tactile dimension to the floral details. A sophisticated periwinkle blue border with a geometric motif encircles the rims, tying the entire collection together with a refined, finished look.

As a true antique from the Nippon era, this set represents a time when Japanese porcelain was specifically crafted for the global market, blending Eastern motifs with Western forms. The teapot’s graceful, sweeping handle and finial-topped lid reflect a high level of craftsmanship that has survived over a century. While one cup shows internal staining at the base, the porcelain remains remarkably vibrant with no major chips or cracks. This set is far more than mere dinnerware; it is a conversation piece that brings a sense of historical gravitas to a morning tea ritual or a formal sideboard arrangement. It serves as a beautiful example of early 20th-century global trade and the enduring appeal of hand-decorated fine china.

Details: The teapot measures about 9.5" in height by 5" wide. The cups measure about 3" in height with a 2.5" opening and the plates almost 5". Very good condition. Some staining on the bottom of one cup.
This set is antique, approximately 110 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
