On offer is a beautiful and delicate antique Japanese eggshell porcelain tea set, exquisitely hand-painted in a romantic pink and white palette with geisha girl portraits hidden at the base of each teacup—a hallmark of collectible Japanese porcelain from the early 20th century.

This finely crafted set showcases the artistry of eggshell porcelain, known for its incredibly thin, almost translucent body. The pink glaze, delicately accented with black, blue, and gold detailing, creates a soft yet striking aesthetic, ideal for elegant display or special occasion use.

The set includes:
☕ 6 teacups (approx. 2.25 inches tall)
🍽️ 6 saucers
🍵 1 teapot (approx. 7.5 inches tall)
🍯 1 sugar bowl with lid (approx. 4.25 inches tall)
🥛 1 milk/cream jug

Each cup reveals a hidden geisha girl portrait when held up to light—a charming feature found in many pre-WWII Japanese tea sets intended for export. This is a telltale mark of Nippon-era porcelain craftsmanship, adding both mystery and collectibility to the set.

The entire ensemble is in very good antique condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs noted. The hand-painted motifs remain vivid, and the gilding shows only minimal wear consistent with gentle use and age.
