Japanese Eggshell Porcelain | Cup & 2 Saucers | Rooster Decor

Three individual pieces of a Japanese tea set, crafted from exceptionally thin eggshell porcelain with an atmospheric decor featuring a rooster, flowers, and fine gold-colored edges.

The decoration displays colorful roosters and flowers in a serene landscape, executed with subtle brushwork, soft shades of gray, and beautiful gilded accents. Each piece is individually painted, resulting in minor differences that highlight the handcraftsmanship.

The porcelain is remarkably thin and translucent, underscoring the high quality of the material used. The elegant gold rim and refined painting give the set a tranquil, classic appearance characteristic of high-quality Japanese export porcelain from the early twentieth century.
