Антикварный чайный сервиз с росписью в восточном стиле

An exquisite 21-piece Japanese tea set in an original wooden case with a textile lining. The set includes 18 miniature cups with saucers, a sugar bowl, a milk jug and a teapot. Each item is decorated with a characteristic oriental-style painting: images of female and male figures in traditional costumes against a backdrop of nature with flowering trees, pagodas and decorative elements. The painting was done by hand with great attention to detail, and some elements are highlighted with gilding. On the back of each object is a red export stamp "Made in Japan" with a Japanese character, typical for the products of Japanese manufactories in the first half of the 20th century, intended for the Western market. The wooden case is decorated with a red cloth on the inside and has special slots for each item. The service is preserved in good condition with minimal signs of use. This set is a vivid example of “Japaneseism” in European interiors of the interwar period, and can be a valuable object for collectors and connoisseurs of oriental aesthetics.
