to see more Geisha cup and saucers, and Geisha tea sets as well. They are all brand-new.
In the mid 1900's, a large quantity of Geisha porcelain cup and saucers were exported from Japan mainly to Europe and Australia. Even though drastically decreased in quantity, they are still being made in small factories. Accordingly, they are getting to be very scarce now. Even if you can find some available on the market, most often they are rather vintage. So please don't miss this new Geisha tea cup and saucer set.

About My Store
My store provides Japanese
Seto-yaki
porcelain items. 'Seto-yaki', such as this cup and saucer, is a general term for porcelain products including figurines and dinnerware made in Seto Japan.
Seto is a city located in the center of Japan, and also the center for Japan's ceramics industry.
From Occupied Japan Era to the late '70s, Seto-yaki items under various brand names used to be exported worldwide. However, as the ceramics industry has been declining year by year, many manufacturers have been forced to shut down their factories in the last few decades. But now, there are still lots of vintage products and reproductions available from local stores out there. If you want to find treasure pieces in Japan, you're welcome to visit my ebay store at any time.
