The gold trim has tiny ivory Moriage beading on it. Trim along top of cups and edge of saucers has a double waved triangle effect. Cups are shallow and wide, lovely style, with handles that are molded to look like bamboo. Saucers are marked JAPAN on the bottom in capital'antique style' letters.
5.5 Across, Cups Approx. 2"Tall x 4"Across. No chips, no nicks, no cracks, no scratches, no repairs to any of the 8 pieces. No crazing to glaze or hairline cracks in glaze. Gold trim is VERY gently worn from normal vintage age, NOT worn off.
One of the cups has a place on the underside of the rim where the cup rests that has an uneven spot, this is from the molding process and time of firing and is not damage- it is completely covered with fired glaze. One of the cups' handle is slightly [and I mean SLIGHTLY] bent from time of firing - again, NOT damage- almost impossible to notice but I do point these things out. Doesn't effect how the cup looks or interfere w picking cup up by handle. This is a very elegant and charming service- they just do not make pretty things like this anymore! Would look lovely on display or in use. A stunning Antique set, great for coffee or tea. As always, my items are packed with EXTRA bubble wrap and extreme care to insure a safe arrival.
