| I have just been given a pearlescent peach coloured tea set by my mother which belonged to her mother. This was given apparently as a wedding gift in the 1930-40's.
The decoration is of 2 flowers and a blossoming tree. On the base is "Made in Japan" Please help to identify or even value? |

| It sounds like lustreware, also called lusterware, sometimes one word, sometimes two (lustre ware, luster ware). My uncle was stationed in Japan after WWII, & he gave some of those to his relatives; On some of my relatives' sets, when you look into the bottom of the cup, you see an embossed image of a Geisha girl. Look on ebay for active & completed sales, & when you're in "advanced" search, exclude words like German, new, reproduction, maybe Czech. Best luck! |
