Tea Set, Japan Lusterware Floral, Teapot, Sugar, Creamer, Cups/Saucers & Plates, 13 Pcs, Antique 1921

A striking gift for a collector of Japanese lusterware, or a lovely complete tea service for a special occasion.

The "Made in Japan" backstamp requirement narrows this set's production to between 1921, when the law took effect, and 1941, when trade halted with the outbreak of the Pacific War — a hard dating window that also makes complete, undamaged sets like this one increasingly hard to find.
