EARLY 20TH CENTURY NORITAKE TEA TRIO, TOO EXQUISITE FOR WORDS. COBALT BLUE AND GOLD FILIGREE

This trio is breath taking. It is exquisite. The white dots on the blue

as well as the gold filigree is raised. The trio is in lovely condition,

although there is wear to the gilt on the handle as can be seen in

this photo.

This is the Komaru symbol. It means overcoming difficulties, which

refers to the differences in culture between the west and Japan

in the early 20th century. This symbol is also known as the

Tree Crest Mark. This stamp of Noritake seems to be from 1908 to the

late 1930's. A superb vintage piece, and a valuable one for the

collector.

The cup measures height 5.5cm, the length including handle is

12cm and the diameter is 9.5cm. The sauce is diameter 14cm and

the diameter of the side/cake plate is 16cm
