Japanese Stoneware Tea Set with Leaf and Berry Design

Collectibles : Pottery : Tea Set : Japanese

 

This neat stoneware tea set has the grey speckled background with the burnt brown rims popular in the 1960's and 1970's. The set is unmarked but I have sold one exactly like it that was marked Otagiri. I also have a matching casserole that is marked OMC. Definitely, Japanese. The set is in excellent condition except for some wear to the brown rims on two of the cups, as shown in the photos. The teapot measures 8.25" high to the top of the handle. The base has a diameter of 4.75". The cups are 2.5" high and about 2.5" in diameter. The design has raised stems with green leaves and raised rusty orange berries. Price includes the teapot and six cups.
