JAPANESE EXPORT SILVER TEA SET

A Japanese Export silver three piece tea set

The tea pot is rounded with a tall swing handle.  The cream jug is double skinned as almost always on Japanese Export silver.  The sugar bowl retains its original double skinned lid

The detail of the iris motif on this set is exceptional.  Note the fine detailing of the finials and the iris motif added at the bottom of the swing handle , the quality of the flowers repousse worked against the hamered background on the round bodies of the pieces

Irises symbolise  hope, wisdom, trust and valour, making it a great flower to have on a tea set.

This set is the work of a master craftsman.

The tray is displayed on a matching tray which is sold separately
