Vintage Japanese Asian Imari Blue White Purple Green Gold Teapot Teacups Set

The spectacular colors and elegant design on this teapot and its matching cups are captivating. Get lost in the details as you explore the delicate lines, the bold colors, and the intricate gilded gold highlights. Imari porcelains are a Japanese ceramic tradition that is unique from all other ceramic traditions worldwide, its elegance and detail driving high demand from collectors, museums, and art dealers. The tradition dates back hundreds of years and still endures today, with master craftsmen continuing to produce some of the finest ceramics in the world. This tea set was hand-made and hand-painted, the design being unique to this one-of-a-kind set. It came to me already pre-owned, so I do not know its age or if it has been used as a tea service or simply held as a display piece, although I have not seen any signs of use. It is in great condition, without any chips along the edges or the spout. I welcome questions. Thanks for shopping!
