WELCOME TO MY AUCTION. I WILL BE LISTING GORGEOUS HAND PAINTED PORCELAIN TODAY, SO PLEASE CHECK OUT ALL MY ITEMS FOR BEAUTIFUL LIMOGES, BAVARIAN OR AUSTRIAN PORCELAIN.
This is a beautiful Nippon Mark #47 Chocolate Pot set that is hand painted with lovely, colorful Springtime flowers. The flowers abound across the surface of the Pot, cups and saucers in lively colors. The Gold is excellent on this set - always a huge plus - with all of it there. There is tiny, intricate beading around the rims of the cups, saucers and the pot.
The Chocolate Pot stands 10 1/4" tall to the tip of the finial. The cups stand 2 5/8" tall. The saucers measure 5 1/4" in diameter.
When I saw this set in an antique store, I thought it looked to be in mint condition. After getting it home, I saw a repaired spider crack in the inside of the lid. It presents quite nicely and the whole set is gorgeous inspite of that. Other than that, it is exquisite - the colors are beautiful and the Gold is all there and lovely.
It is marked with Nippon M in Wreath Morimura Bros. mark #47. Early 1900's.
