Features
◆ Mellow Green Glaze
A soft green glaze dominates: comfortable to look at and never harsh, it suits wooden tabletops, tatami, a tea gathering or a Japanese-style café.
Green also combines easily with natural wood, rattan, black ironwork and dark lacquerware, which makes it very useful in practice.
◆ Dark Rims on Cup and Saucer
The cup rim and saucer edge are finished in a dark tone, which keeps the whole from looking plain and defines the outline of each form.
This detail gives the set a plain Japanese character with a touch of the modern, so it fits both retro and contemporary interiors.
◆ Complete Cup-and-Saucer Set
The coffee cups come with saucers, which looks more complete than cups alone and suits formal entertaining, afternoon coffee, serving with dessert or use in a shop.
Laid out together the set has a strong sense of unity, well suited to table settings or display.
◆ With the original wooden tomobako
The original wooden tomobako is included, an important plus for this set.
For Japanese wares, an original box or tomobako is not only convenient for storage but also makes the set more complete as a collection. Even where the box itself shows age, it reflects the genuine history of use of a vintage piece.
◆ For Use as Well as Collecting
Unlike some antiques that can only be displayed, a coffee set like this is very usable.
It can be used daily for coffee or tea, or as props for photography, as part of an interior, or on café tables — a set of Japanese vintage ware that genuinely fits into everyday life.
