LOVELY ANTIQUE HAND PAINTED MORIMURA NIPPON FLORAL CREAMER & SUGAR BOWL :
$29.99

Maker: This exquisite hand-painted cream and sugar set is by the renowned Japanese maker Morimura Brothers, the company that eventually became Noritake.
Design: Morimura Nippon is justifiably famous for its high quality and this set is no exception: it is classically designed, rich in detail and superbly crafted, featuring finely painted multicolored flowers and bold green leaves on a white panel between sections of cream colored porcelain.
Age and marks: The green wreath mark with \"Hand Painted Nippon\" on the base of both pieces dates the set\'s production to sometime between 1890 and 1921. Source: Van Patten\'s ABCs of Collecting Nippon by Joan Van Patten.
Condition: The set has no chips, cracks, crazing, stains or discoloration. There is noticeable wear to the gold edges, especially the handles, and a small nick on the creamer\'s spout that has been painted over in gold. These are shown in the photos.
Size: The sugar bowl is 6 inches long between the far ends of the handles and 3 1/2 inches tall at the top of the handle. The creamer is 4 3/4 inches long between the tip of the spout and the far end of the handle, and 3 inches tall at the tip of the spout. The set weighs 12.2 ounces.
Please check all the photos very carefully – they are an important part of the description.
