Message Cannot read first character of factory mark, second character is 'ko'. Probably had stickers for country of origin, as this made for export to West. The tall pot would have been sold as coffee pot. Japanese factories have made these sets in the millions for export. Yours probably made 1950s or so. There is no 'collectible' value for such utility wares. When selling used tableware, everything depends on how much prospective buyer likes decoration (you would need closeup well lit and in focus so buyer could see design) and how many pieces in set (at least four cups/saucers, cream pitcher in addition to sugar bowl) plus condition (no chips, flakes, cracks or flaws in glaze and design). Good luck, Cal Post a Response |
