BE YOUR OWN JUDGE ON THIS ONE!
AS SHOWN, THE OVERALL SET COMES WITH A TOTAL OF 11 PIECES WITH 3 DIFFERENT SIZES AND TEXTURED CUPS OR SMALL DRINKING BOWLS. OF COURSE, AS SHOWN LARGE ENGRAVED BOWL, SIMILAR TO A PUNCH BOWL.
I PURCHASE THIS SET AT A RECENT ESTATE AUCTION. THE AUCTION HOUSE CLAIMED THAT THE FORMER OWNER, WHO WAS A CONFIRMED WORLD TRAVELER, CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE TIBETAN AND THIS IS A TIBETAN TEA SET.
I HAVE NO WAY TO CONFIRM THAT, SO YOU BE YOUR OWN JUDGE. I TOOK MULTIPLE PICTURES OF VARIOUS PIECES FROM THE SET AND USED GOOGLE LENS, TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THIS IS. GOOGLE LENS, UTILIZING AI, KEPT COMING UP WITH DIFFERENT DESCRIPTION OF THE EXACT SAME ITEM. SOMEWHAT SIMILAR, BUT DIFFERENT ENOUGH TO CONFUSE ME IN TRYING TO ACCURATELY TELL YOU WHAT THIS SET IS. FIRST ATTEMPT SAID IT WAS TIBETAN, SECOND TIME SAID IT WAS BUDDHIST, WHICH STILL COULD BE TIBETAN BUDDHIST, THIRD ATTEMPT SAID IT WAS MIDDLE EASTERN, FOURTH ATTEMPT SAID IT WAS ISLAMIC, WHICH COULD STILL BE TIBETAN. SO, AFTER FACTORING ALL IDENTIFICATIONS FROM AI, I'M GOING WITH TIBETAN, ALONG WITH THE FORMER OWNER AND AUCTION HOUSE.
