This is a piece from Nabeshima Sanseido, a long-established Arita-yaki (Arita porcelain) maker. It's a beautiful item with delicate painting and ample negative space. We don't have a chance to use it at home, so I'm putting it up for sale. Unused, but it has been stored at home for a long time. The lidded teacups and teapot have never been used, but: * There is some age-related change in the gold portions. * There is a stain-like mark on the bottom of the teapot only. * The tags and box show signs of aging. There are also stains. *Priority will be given to those who purchase immediately. *Please note that recycled materials such as cardboard may be used for packaging. Secure anonymous shipping. We will ship free of charge via either Rakuraku Mercari Bin or Yu-Yu Mercari Bin. Please check the photos and consider purchasing. Thank you for reading this far.
