Vintage Japanese Samurai China Tea Set 15pc - Hand Painted Moriage Geisha - MCM
Timeless Elegance from Post-War Japan
Bring a touch of Showa-era artistry to your home with this stunning 15-piece "Genuine Samurai China" tea set. Hand-painted in Japan (circa 1940s-1950s), this set features a striking "Geisha in Garden" motif. The vibrant palette of cinnabar red and celadon green is elevated by intricate moriage (raised enamel) detailing and gilded accents that catch the light beautifully.
Versatile Decor & Use:
For the Collector: A complete set (rare to find all pieces together) with the authentic "Reg. No. 539409" backstamp.
As Interior Decor: These pieces serve as exquisite "maximalist" shelf decor, or as a focal point in a Japandi-style dining room.
Functional Art: While perfect for a traditional tea service, the creamer and sugar bowl are charming enough to be used for a weekend brunch or as unique vanity jars for jewelry and trinkets.
Condition & Craftsmanship:
This set has been remarkably well-preserved. The gold trim remains bright, showing only the characterful, light "honest wear" expected of genuine vintage porcelain.
Note on Condition: One teacup has a small chip on the rim (see close-up photo). This is a minor and easy fix for a hobbyist with a touch of porcelain repair paste or gold kintsugi-style filler, which would actually enhance the vintage aesthetic.
All other pieces are free of cracks, crazing, or previous repairs.
