Tea Time 9 - Thames Japan Lustreware
September 09, 2012
My saucer in today's post has a paper label "Thames, made in Japan, hand painted". There is also a number painted on the bottom of the tea cup and saucer "3191".
Most of the tea cups in my collection were made in England and are bone china, but I have a few that were made in Japan. This lustreware tea cup has a very unusual shaped handle and three feet. The saucer has a lattice pattern. Both cup and saucer are trimmed in a daubed-on look gold. The flowers are a rosy burgundy.
Do you collect made in Japan tea cups and saucers?

PS cool that you have an Ancestry.com ad. I love that site and I am addicted to family history.
What a pretty teacup! I don't collect them really but have several but none from Japan, or at least I don't think so. I'll check just to make sure! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteCarlene, this is just beautiful. Between the lattice work and the feet on the cup, this set is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. Lately I've been wanting to start collecting cups and saucers, but I keep stopping myself just in time to prevent further build up of stuff. I'll just save money and space and keep coming by and see what you have. :)

Hello Carlene,
ReplyDeleteI am loving your Japanese lusterware tea cup! It has just the perfect Japanese style flowers, so pretty in vibrant pink! The cut work plate and the unique handle really make your cup superbly vintage.
I adore lusterware, and have a couple Japanese tea cups around here.

ReplyDeleteIt is so much fun to see your lovely cup and saucer! The lattice pierced saucer is just gorgeous. The detail is wonderful and seems to be hand painted. I love your title Organized Clutter so cute with the darling photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam
OH such beautiful work... I love the fret work on this delicate teaset... Japanese artistry is superb... Gorgeous post !!!!... Hugs
ReplyDeleteMy mother had a set of this type of tea cups. We lived in Japan in the 60's. I think she and her friends had china parties. The idea was not to have all the same pattern. I have no idea what happened to the china.
