Mino Ware (MINOYAKI JAPAN) This is a design that was very popular from the mid to late Showa period, mainly for export and as high-quality gifts for domestic use. It is an antique item filled with the craftsmanship of Japanese artisans from that era, making it difficult to obtain today. It is an extremely elegant piece with delicate gold accents applied to "luster glaze," which emits a pearl-like iridescent sheen, and its appearance changes depending on how the light hits it. [Set Contents] A luxurious full set with no missing items. • Teapot x 1 • Sugar pot x 1 • Creamer (milk pitcher) x 1 • Cups & Saucers x 5 sets • Dedicated tea spoons x 5 This set is perfect for those who like a Showa retro atmosphere or want to enjoy an elegant tea time. • Unused, deadstock item • Stored in its box, so it is in very clean condition overall, but the box has some damage. • As this is a vintage item and has been stored for a long time, there may be slight scuffs on the gold accents or small dots from the manufacturing process. Please only purchase if you understand and appreciate the character of old items. [Notes] • Due to the delicate gold and luster glazes, please refrain from using in microwaves or dishwashers.
