Description
A set of Past Times porcelain mugs and matching square coasters in the Festival Elephants pattern. Each piece features a transfer-printed Indian-inspired motif of caparisoned elephants in shades of red, purple, gold, and black against a cream ground. The mugs are finished with gilded accents to the rims and handles and include decorative borders. The coasters repeat the central elephant motif with a coordinating purple and gold border. The items are accompanied by their original Past Times branded retail packaging. Web research indicates these items were manufactured in Japan.
Condition report:
The porcelain items appear to be in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the gilding. The original retail boxes show minor signs of shelf wear and light scuffing consistent with storage.
