Vintage Japanese eggshell porcelain tea set

Items are characterized by their extreme thinness, making them translucent when held up to light.

The set includes teacups, saucers, a teapot, a sugar bowl, and a milk Jug. Sandwich / cake plates.

The maker's mark on the bottom of your porcelain reads 高木 (Takagi)

The top character is 高 (Taka) and the bottom character is 木 (Gi / Ki), which is a common Japanese surname. This signature represents the specific decorator, artist, or workshops responsible for hand-painting the landscape design onto the tea set. hand-painted signature identifies a specific artist workshop from the Taisho to early Showa era (1910s–1940s) rather than a generic mass-stamped factory mark.

Complete services for 6 to 12 people are harder to find intact and are highly sought after by collectors.
