#selling a wonderful Japanese service set from the Satsuma-yaki factory. *Age, stamp (hand-drawn or stamped in red) and the inscription "Dai Nippon" usually indicate the period before World War II or shortly after, but stylistically it most closely matches the Taisho era (approximately 1912-1926). It is classic export porcelain produced for Europe and the USA. *Set includes: a complete service set (teapot, sugar bowl, cream jug, and eight duos). Cup capacity is 140 ml. The teapot shape is elegant and tall. Finding such an old (around 100 years), unbroken set is difficult, as this porcelain is very fragile. Eggshell porcelain – very transparent to light. When looking at the cups against the light, finger shadows are visible through them. *Design – "Wisteria and Birds", considered tasteful and valuable. *Motif: The drawing depicts wisteria, violet flower "rain showers". In Japanese culture, wisteria symbolizes longevity, immortality, and refined elegance. *Aesthetics: The wisteria motif is highly sought after among collectors (much more than dragons or geishas). Birds: Often depicted together with flowers as a symbol of natural harmony. The porcelain painting is very delicate and decorative. The Satsuma-yaki Japanese porcelain factory began its activity in the 16th century. Famous for hand-painted porcelain, polychrome decoration, and the use of gilding. Themes include detailed nature landscapes, bird and flower paintings, scenes from life, court figures, and detailed scenes, geishas, and fairy tale figures - dragons. Satsuma-yaki production holds an honored place in world museum collections and is highly valued at auctions. *Considering the respectable age, there are minimal signs of wear, but overall the entire service is perfectly preserved: without chips, cracks, or other defects. Price for everything is 95 euros. Located in Ziepniekkalns, meeting, sending at Omniva costs.
