Antique Imperial Nippon Mitsu-Boshi Blue Porcelain White Crane Tea Cups, Saucers, authentic & Plates, Hand Painted, Circa 1920, Bird Tea Set, 8 Pieces

This set of 8 very collectible hand-painted porcelain pieces have seen history.

You cannot imagine how beautifully painted these white cranes are on a blue background--the pictures do not do these pieces justice. This gold-trimmed set was made by Nippon in the early twentieth century, around the 1920s, and is marked Hand-Painted Nippon on the underside.

There are two tea cups, two sauces, two smaller plates, and two larger plates. Very good condition with some wear of the blue on the plates but overall no crazing or chips.

Small plates are about 6 inches in diameter and the authentic two largest plates are about 8 inches in diameter. Very hard to find!
