Japanese-style tea set in cracked earthenware with chrysanthemum flowers

A delightful antique earthenware tea set with a Japanese-style decoration of chrysanthemums and colorful foliage, hand-painted in a beautiful palette of yellow, sea green, pink, and turquoise. The set consists of a teapot with a lid, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, and a cup with its matching saucer and an additional saucer. The delicate floral decoration is inspired by Japanese cloisonné enamels and evokes imported creations from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The crackled glaze and hand-painted details create a delicate and poetic patina, typical of earthenware of the period. Unstamped, but of high quality, probably a French or English production influenced by the tastes of the Far East. Beautiful overall vintage condition—a slight network of cracks, with no major chips. Dimensions: Teapot: 14 cm high, 8.5 cm in diameter. Milk jug: 10 cm high, 7.5 cm in diameter. Sugar bowl: 7.5 cm high, 8 cm in diameter. Cup: 7 cm in diameter, 5.5 cm in height. Saucer: 12.5 cm in diameter. Full of charm and elegance, combining studio romance with oriental inspiration, perfect for a refined and soothing decor.
