Help identifying Japanese tea set
Comments (2)The characters on the bottom of your pot simply say "Great Japan" and can be found on any number of manufacturer's ware. It's not a maker's mark. Judging by the style of the illustrations, I'd say it's not 'terribly' old meaning, they're more stylistic and modern than those of WWII vintage. Can you elaborate on what pieces this set consist of? Look for other marks on the bottoms different than this one?...See MoreJapanese tea set
Comments (0)I was given an incomplete tea set by a friend - it says made in Japan on the bottom. I was just Wondering if anyone knew anything about it or could even identify the pattern? I have looked a bit online & it looks very similar to satsuma moriage tea sets, but the pattern & colour are slightly different. Any info at all would be appreciated!...See MoreJapanese tea set identification plse
Comments (0)Hi - I wondered if anyone can identify this nice japanese tea set? The pictures show some example pieces including the identification mark which is underneath each piece. Its the ID mark that I am stuck with...it isn't listed on the various web sites that classify these things. Any help much appreciated - many thanks!...See MoreHelp identifying Japanese Tea Set
Comments (5)No, the simple Japan mark would not indicate those years. It could be found on any imported Japanese pottery manufactured after 1921, other than the post WWII occupation years. In fact it's still quite legal to mark it such today. Satsuma has become an occidental generic term for that style of china, but it shouldn't be. Satsuma is a specific china made in a specific area and just looking at this example doesn't give any clues it is or not, although you will see examples listed as such on places like ebay and etsy. I do not believe this set to be that old at all. If it is, it's not typical in its style. If you get a little clearer picture of the red maker's mark, I may or may not be able to help....See More
