Tea set made in japan in ceramic (satsuma porcelain?) finely decorated. It must date from the 60s, perhaps older, and probably brought back from japan as a travel souvenir. It seems to me that these are pieces belonging to two different departments, if we believe the different stamps, even if the decorations are very similar. It includes 12 small plates, 8 cups, 2 decanters and a jar (sugar perhaps). Most parts are in good condition, but have small chips, faded gilding, and various marks, destemming or wear. Nevertheless a cup has a crack (important but not through it seems to me), and the largest decanter is clearly split, horizontally, which makes it very fragile and unusable in the state (except to put it in decoration), but I chose to leave it with the whole, because the art of repair (with a golden resin in particular) of this kind piece being a common practice in japan, in a wabi sabi spirit, maybe you will want to try the experience.
