An exceptional and increasingly scarce Japanese .950 fine silver tea and coffee set by Toshikazu, offered complete with its original fitted presentation case. The four matching pieces—coffee pot, tea pot, creamer, and covered sugar bowl—are crafted in higher-than-sterling .950 silver and weigh a substantial 73.08 troy ounces. Elegant curved spouts, balanced pedestal bases, and restrained decorative floral and acanthus leaf banding reflect the refined proportions and understated aesthetic characteristic of mid-20th-century Japanese silversmithing. All pieces are stamped .950 silver and bear the Toshikazu maker’s mark, confirming origin and quality.
THE PRINCIPAL'S PERSPECTIVE
The survival of the original green faux alligator fitted case, with hardware and handle intact, materially enhances both provenance and collectibility, signaling careful stewardship and completeness rarely found today. Beyond its decorative presence, this set carries significant intrinsic silver value while offering the added appeal of identified craftsmanship and intact presentation—making it an investment equally compelling for collectors of fine silver, Asian decorative arts, or designers seeking a statement piece with lasting material substance.

The silver pieces show light surface wear and areas of gentle tarnish consistent with age and careful use; tarnish can be easily polished if desired. The tea pot has a small dent to the body and a small dent to the foot, both stable and not affecting functionality or display (see pictures). The original fitted case shows age-appropriate wear including surface scratches, areas of wear and tearing, and one torn interior leather strap; the case remains structurally sound and fully usable for storage. less
