Description
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"". Nippon porcelain teacups with swans and gold trim are treasured antiques from Japan's export era (1(contact info removed)), mandated by the U.S. McKinley Tariff Act requiring country-of-origin marking, featuring popular romantic, hand-painted scenes (swans, lakes, flowers) with rich gold and often enamel jeweling, appealing to Western tastes for less expensive, beautiful wares sold in major U.S. stores. 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. "
