History & Manufacture Background
This set features the iconic, hand-painted flying bluebird motif popular in Japanese porcelain export wares during the early 20th century. While this specific set lacks a physical maker's mark on the base, the high-gloss porcelain construction, distinct bird styling, and gold-gilded rims match the production patterns of the Takito Company (Takito Tokki), which operated out of Nagoya, Japan. These sets were heavily exported to the United States and Europe between World War I and the 1930s, prized for bringing hand-crafted artistic detail into daily household dinnerware.

♡ This Belonged to my grandmother & grandfather who were both avid antique collectors with their own specific interests. Both born on East Coast but they've resided in over 10 states during their life times with a colorful & extensive history.

♡ My Grandmother not only collected antiques but also sold them in various malls & often helped in appraisals. Her specific interests were jewelry, lamps & glassware/ dishware. My Grandfather served in WWII & collected memorabilia from the war. In addition to knives, tools, coins & western collectables

♡ We don't know exactly when & where they obtained this item, but it's been in their possession since the 1970s.

♡ As with most loved ones from their generation, they appreciated every item they could afford to own. So naturally they took great care of everything they collected.
