Blue-green grape leaves, purple grape clusters, platinum details — the Grapevine pattern has the relaxed elegance of a late summer table, equally at home with a formal place setting or a casual afternoon. The footed cup and platinum handle accent give it a refinement that belies the low price.
This was an exclusive pattern for Max Schoenfeld, a California distributor who worked with various Japanese porcelain houses in the mid-20th century — the "MS" on the backstamp reflects his arrangement for exclusive distribution. Pattern number 6701, produced in the 1960s and since discontinued. A small dark mark on the cup is noted in photos and reflected in the price. Because of its range of colors, this pattern mixes easily with many table styles.
A charming piece for a seasonal autumn table or anyone who loves the grapevine motif. A sweet gift for a birthday or housewarming.
