Art Deco Style Japanese Orange Lustreware Tea Set

This is a multi-piece vintage ceramic tea service originating from Japan, consistently styled in the Art Deco aesthetic popular during the 1920s to 1930s. The set features a striking geometric design characterized by alternating vertical sections of iridescent orange lustre and creamy white glaze, punctuated by fine hand-painted black piping that adds graphic definition. The collection includes a lidded teapot, a lidded sugar bowl, a cream pitcher, multiple teacups, and matching saucers, as well as larger serving plates. Many of the pieces, particularly the teapot and sugar bowl, exhibit the angular, faceted silhouettes and pointed finials indicative of Deco-era ceramic design. The lustre finish provides an iridescent, metallic-like sheen that is a hallmark of Japanese 'Made in Japan' exports from the interwar period. The craftsmanship demonstrates standard commercial production of the era with hand-painted accents. The condition appears well-maintained for its age with no catastrophic cracks visible, though typical minor wear to the delicate lustre glaze and fine black linework is expected. The undersides likely feature a 'Hand Painted Japan' or 'Made in Japan' backstamp in red or black ink, which was standard for this type of porcelain export during the early 20th century.
