VTG Iridescent Yellow & Gold Lustreware Teacup Set – Unmarked Japanese Porcelain

I found this sunny little cup gleaming on a thrift-store shelf like it knew exactly what it was doing. That swirl of yellow luster and gold feels straight out of a retro tea party — a touch of Hollywood Regency shimmer meets cottagecore whimsy. Unmarked, but unmistakably fabulous. This vintage yellow lusterware cup and saucer set glows with mid-century charm — the kind that makes every cup of tea feel a little more glamorous. Made of fine porcelain with a luminous iridescent glaze, it shifts from golden yellow to hints of pink and pearl under light. If it could hold up a pinky, she'd absolutely hold up a pinky with you while drinking her tea. Though she is an unmarked piece, that doesn't make her unidentifiable - she still has a few clues to her age (though I'm no expert nor do i claim to be one). That lack of marking is actually consistent with the work of Lefton, Royal Sealy, and other quality postwar Japanese makers known for their delicate craftsmanship and removable foil labels. The scalloped edges and gold fern-leaf patterns are hand-painted clues, too, leading to a 1950s–1960s Japanese lusterware style. Perfect for collectors of cottagecore, Hollywood Regency, or vintage tea party décor — or simply to add a bit of sunshine to your shelf.
