Nippon Antique Nippon Noritake Morimura Black Gold Porcelain Tea Service 13 Piece Set

Beautiful hand painted black florals and heavy gold details on this antique collection of 5 teacups, 6 saucers, creamer and sugar bowl with intact lid. I love that this set shows it was really used, if only it could tell us what it witnessed. The Green M Wreath marking dates this around 1911-1921 Edwardian/Early Art Deco/McKinley Tariff era. The Morimura brothers further evolved into the Noritake china brand. * 1 Covered Sugar Bowl (Excellent condition) there are obvious wear on the gilding- expected for a set this age * 6 Saucers (Excellent condition; bright gold, no chips or cracks) * 1 Creamer Pitcher (Features a flea bite chip on the inner edge of the spout; see photos) * 5 Teacups (4 are structurally sound; 1has repair, and one has a chip on the outer lip by the handle and are included as-is for display only) **Condition Notes:** The saucers and sugar bowl are in beautiful antique condition with excellent gilding. The creamer has a small chip on the inside rim of the pouring spout. One of the five cups has structural cracks and are priced as decorative additions to the set. Please study all photos carefully as they serve as the primary condition report. I have more photos I can send if desired.
