HAND PAINTED JAPANESE TEA SET FLOWERS

Very nice Hand Painted Porcelain Japanese Tea Set. I have had this tea set quite a while also. It is very bright and cheerful great for brightening the cloudiest day. It has 5 cups and each cup has a lid, the teapot it self is signed on the inside of the lid, and has a porcelain strainer on the inside of the poorer. CONDITION EXCELLENT I'M REDUCING MY COLLECTION OF TEA SET TO MAKE ROOM IN MY CHINA CABINET. I believe that these are chrysanthemum on the tea set. The plant has been grown in Japan since the 8th Century. The chrysanthemum is so highly revered in Japan that a single flowered chrysanthemum is the Emperor’s symbol. The flower is often incorporated into the crests of noble families. National Chrysanthemum Day, also called Festival of Happiness, celebrates the plant’s significance in Japan.
