A set of porcelain tea and coffee wares of Japanese origin, decorated with hand-painted landscape scenes. The decoration depicts mountains, water, trees, and figures in a traditional style. The upper sections of the vessels feature a pearlescent lustre glaze, while the rims and handles are finished with gilt highlights. The collection includes a tall lidded pot, a twin-handled lidded sugar bowl, a cream jug, cups, and saucers. The underside of the pieces is marked in red with the word FOREIGN, which was a standard import mark used for goods brought into the United Kingdom during the early to mid-20th century.
Condition report:
The set appears to be in good overall condition. There is minor age-related wear, specifically some light rubbing and thinning to the gilding on the handles and rims. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are evident from the images.
