Brand: TE-OH China (Nippon)Style: Hand-painted porcelain with floral garlands and beaded gold trim

Origin: Often associated with Japanese porcelain imports from the early 20th century.

Visual & Material Details

Form & Body: Crafted from smooth, fine white porcelain, featuring a bulbous, rounded form. The sugar bowl is designed with two distinct, looped side handles and a matching lidded top accented by a round finial. The open creamer features a molded pouring lip and a single loop handle.

Artistic Design: Hand-painted with vibrant, five-petal pink blossoms (resembling wild roses or cherry blossoms) amidst soft green and yellow shaded foliage.

Gilded Accents: The upper shoulders of both pieces feature an elaborate gold filigree netting pattern over a raised, dark-bordered trim. Minute gold moriage-style beading dots the rims and frames the floral panels, elevating its sophisticated, tactile feel.

Historical Context

This piece is not stamped with the Te-Oh stamp, rather it says, "Made in Japan." It is unclear if this is an early (prior to WWII) piece, or a reproduction from the mid-century, occupied Japan. See less
