The coffee service described is an original piece of Japanese porcelain, not a reproduction or copy. Each piece of the service is hand-painted with great care and precision, using the Moriage technique that creates a three-dimensional effect by building up areas of glaze. The porcelain is of the highest quality and the service was made in the 20th century, although the exact date is unknown.
A distinctive feature of this service is that under each piece is painted the name of the artist, strictly in Japanese. This lends a touch of authenticity and allows one to appreciate the artist's work and craftsmanship. In addition, the original Satsuma pieces do not have inscriptions such as "Made in Japan" or "Satsuma style," but only Japanese language text.
Another interesting aspect of this service is that each piece is unique and features hand drawings that are never an identical copy. Differences can be seen between one saucer and another, between one cup and another, making each piece a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Despite the years that have passed, the service is in perfect condition, as shown in the photos. It has no chips or cracks, which is a testament to its excellent preservation over time.
In conclusion, this Japanese fine hand-painted porcelain coffee service for 10 people is a true artistic masterpiece and represents excellence in porcelain quality. Its authenticity, Moriage painting technique and attention to detail make it a unique and valuable piece for lovers of Japanese art and culture.
