Vintage Nakagama Tea Set

Vintage Nakagama Japan tea set with tea pot and 2 cups. Iridescent green lusterware that shines teal and liliac over a cutesy Sakura looking floral pattern. Cream plastic woven wrap over the handle, wire fastening it to the pot is rusty, but doesn't affect use. Strainer built into the spout for ease so you can drop your loose leaf right in there and pour out into the little cups. Great vintage condition. Ceramic blemish on the inside of the lid, photographed. Inconsistency in the pattern at the base of the spout that got left white, photographed. Small chip in the lusterware on the base rim of one of the cups, photographed, but can't see in use. All the gold still in tact and no chips or scratches or cracks seen other than the wear on the bottoms from use. Purchased for a gift but ended up gifting something else. Perfect for a tea party or that one friend who loves a good blend. Nice housewarming gift. Can be displayed prominently when not in use, it's too pretty not to. Some matching cups found on ebay if you're looking for a set of 4.
