Antique Nippon Tea Cup Set of 4- Hand Painted Teal/Blue Flying Cranes Swans Gold and Jeweled Border. Vintage porcelain tea cup set by Noritake. These are hand-painted, featuring three swans in flight surrounded by foliage accented with gold flowers. The edge is painted in textured gold and raised, enamel jewels.

These delicate, translucent pieces often have subtle maker's marks (like a star or Nippon) and represent a peak of Japanese craftsmanship before markings changed to Made in Japan post-1921.
