Description

A charming vintage set of five porcelain teacups and six matching saucers, along with one coordinating scalloped small dish, originating from Japan. Each piece features a delicate cream ground adorned with hand-painted deep purple and pink rose motifs, accented by rich gold gilding along the scalloped edges and ornate, scroll-design handles. The underside of the cups and saucers bears the 'NBS Made in Japan' mark, suggesting a mid-20th-century production. This set reflects a decorative and elegant aesthetic suitable for display or collection.

Condition Report

Visible wear to the gold gilding on the rims and handles of the cups and saucers, consistent with age and use. Minor scuffs and marks to the bases.
