Antique Kutani Japanese tea set, c.1900 Includes teapot with side handle and 4 tea cups. Marked on the base: Kutani I would say that it is more of a collector's item than for use. In good condition, with some wear consistent with age; the hairline on the bottom is not deep. There is some old repair to the knob on the lid. I would say that the kettle leaks very, very slowly, leaving a water ring mark under the base after 24 hours, probably just because it wasn't used for a very long time. The size of the teapot is 12.5cm x 11.5cm x 9.5cm. The size of the teacup is 5cm x 6cm. Weight: 448g

Conversion factors: 1 inch = 2.54 cm 1 lb = 453 g
