HERE you can find more geisha cup and saucers as well as tea/demitasse sets.
These are all brand-new, fresh from the kiln.
In the mid 1900's, a large quantity of Geisha porcelain cup and saucers were exported from Japan mainly to Europe and Australia. Even though drastically decreased in quantity, they are still made in small factories in quite a small way. Accordingly, they are getting very scarce now. Even if you can find some available on the market, it is quite often the case they are used and vintage properties. So please don't miss this brand new tea set.
