Nippon Lustreware Cream & Sugar w/ Parrots
Shipping/Handling: To Be Determined
Insurance: $2.35 USD
Price for shipping to USA
A very shiny (and happy) Nippon Cream & Sugar set, decorated with pleasantly plump Parrots on each piece, perched atop T-stands and definitely into each other.
The birds are hand painted while the remainder of each piece is done in orange lustre. The creamer also has opalescent, white lustre on the inside, reminiscent of a seashell. This is a full size set, rather than demitasse, with the sugar measuring 4.5" tall and 6.5" wide (from handle to handle) and the creamer measuring 3 3/8" to the top of the spout and 4.75" wide (includes handle). Both pieces are marked Hand Painted Nippon, Made in Japan" on the bottom with a diamond in a circle. You'll find each piece to be in excellent condition, despite their age, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There ARE a few spots of wear to the lustre, as to be expected, mostly on the lid of the sugar bowl - but other places as well. They are of the pencil point size, however and not detracting. A nice set and functional as well as decorative. I'm sure you'll be quite pleased!
