13-Piece Vintage Japanese Ceramic Sake and Tea Set

This 13-piece ceramic service is a vintage Japanese beverage set featuring an off-white or cream-colored glaze with hand-painted floral motifs. The set includes one large kyusu-style teapot with a side handle and lid, two tall, narrow necked tokkuri (sake carafes), four larger chawan (tea bowls), and six smaller ochoko (sake cups). The decoration depicts traditional organic flora, including brown stalks and green foliage, likely representing reeds or bamboo with orange floral accents. The ceramic is constructed with a subtle horizontal ribbed texture on the cylindrical bodies of the vessels. The style is mid-to-late 20th-century Japanese stoneware, typical of export ware from the Showa era. Each piece shows a consistent high-gloss finish. The condition appears to be 'Used - Good' as per the listing, with no major chips or cracks visible in the primary image, though minor surface craquelure or shelf wear on the unglazed bases is common for sets of this age. The craftsmanship is high-quality commercial grade, intended for functional domestic use or display. The inclusion of both sake carafes and tea bowls makes this a versatile hybrid set for traditional Japanese dining.
