Hi tjc789, welcome to the forum Such a beautiful tea-set! I cannot read what it says at the bottom. "Made in....?"

Yes it is very lovly it saiz made in Japan,but unfortunatly i cannot find a thing out about this set.Also it has 44 peices to it if that helps?Thanks for replying

some more pics

For some reason or another your photo didn't show up so I took the liberty of copying it from your profile page. I hope you don't mind

I will keep my eyes open for any clues relating to its origin, tjc789 and hopefully will dig up something that can be of help.

First of all thanks for everything youve done,the photo was suppose to go there but said it was to large.I hope you find somethimg out about it as its beaten me cannot find out a thing.Thanks again

Those hard to find pieces make it all the more interesting. Although I have to admit to my shame that I haven't found a thing about it as yet. But will keep on looking. Of that you can be sure, grrrr

Okey kokey its one of those things that bugs you until you find something out.I have searched lots of pages on the net,and yet nothing.Ive just ordered some books from the libary if i come up with anything i will post.Thanks

Oh that would be great, tjc789 Let's promise we'll keep each other updated on our progress. Is that OK with you?

yeah ok will do
