This stunning piece belonged to my grandmother and I have always admired its outstanding beauty.

I believe that this may be a master berry bowl and would date this piece to around the 1930's. For those of you familiar with Joan Van Patten's markings for Nippon porcelain, this bowl basically bears her #17 backstamp with the exception that it states "Made In Japan" instead of "Nippon", dating the bowl after the Nippon era...

This is another beautiful item which had belonged to my grandmother. Though unmarked, I feel almost certain that this eggshell porcelain cup & saucer were made in Japan and probably date to the 1930's or earlier.

Vibrant pink and purple hand~painted flowers are enhanced by a rich frame of cobalt blue with gold accents...quite captivating!

The cup is approximately 3 3/4" in diameter at the rim and 2" in height, while the saucer is 5 5/8" in diameter...

From its styling, I would estimate this lovely berry bowl set dates to somewhere between the 1930's to perhaps the 40's or 50's.

Hallmarked Z.S. & Co. Bavaria, this 7~piece set consists of the master berry bowl and 6 small berry bowls. A soft, shaded green coloring serves as the perfect backdrop for the luscious pink hand painted roses. Gold rims complete the presentation...
