Ziggy's Collection

Exceptional vintage tea set crafted in deep cobalt blue ceramic, featuring relief medallions with “Tokyo 1964”.

The teapot prominently bears the name Van Nelle, the iconic coffee and tobacco company from Rotterdam. The combination with “Tokyo 1964” points to an international context, likely produced as a corporate gift or promotional item around the Tokyo Summer Olympics.

The set consists of a teapot (20 cm high), sugar bowl with lid, creamer, serving dish, and a matching small bowl-shaped element. The rattan handles and intense monochrome glaze give the set a distinct mid-century character.

The condition is very good, with no visible damage. A characterful piece of Rotterdam corporate history with a bold design.
