Subject:Japanese moriage tea set - similar to satsuma
Posted By: emma8704 Tue, Apr 22, 2014 IP: 109.224.163.194 I was given an (incomplete) tea set by a friend. It says made in Japan on the bottom & from the little I have found out online it is likely to have been made either for export or as souvenir during 1950s. I haven't been able to find a name for this particular pattern - its quite similar to satsuma moriage tea sets, but not identical. I was wondering if anyone could help educate me on moriage tea sets and maybe even identify a name for the pattern! |

Posted By: Emma8704 Fri, Apr 25, 2014 Hi Arjan, thanks for your response & for clarifying a few things. I knew moriage refered to the raised decoration but did not know that satsuma refers to crackled stoneware. I realise the set is probably not valuable - my friend bought it for next to nothing at a market - but I was just curious to know a little about the set/style as I hadnt seen one like it before. |
