Description
This is a beautiful tea service for 6. There are 6 cups, a teapot, sugar & creamer bowls, 4 saucers & 4 serving plates. There are two saucers & two serving plates missing. My brother passed on, and I feel that when he bought this while R&R in Japan he knew he was coming home soon and wanted to give my mother something of value as a momento of his venture. I am not interested in selling it, but I would like to know the value as information to the members of the family that follow.
Re: Japanese Tea Service
It's Japanese Taisho period (1912-1926)Satsuma mark, you could most likely find the mark here.
