Product description
Elegant vintage set of 6 cups and 6 saucers in fine white porcelain, decorated with a delicate floral motif (pink roses, blue and yellow flowers) and finished with a refined scalloped edge in pure gold.
The demitasse shape and the lightness of the porcelain make this set perfect for both everyday use (coffee or short tea) and as a display piece for lovers of Shabby Chic style or Oriental collectibles.
Historical Details and Dating
The mark on the bottom features a globe with the word "JAPAN" and the term "FOREIGN".
Date: 1950s.
Analysis: The use of the term "Foreign" was common for products intended for export (especially to the European/British market) in the post-World War II period. The design and marking suggest mid-century production, typical of Nagoya-area manufacturers, renowned for exporting high-quality ceramics after 1945.
