Succumb to the charm of times gone by with this stunning antique 6-piece Japanese tea set, proudly crafted from the finest 925/- sterling silver. This exquisite tea set is not just a mere serving set, it is a work of art. Every detail, every curve and cut has been carefully considered and masterfully executed.
The ornate and signed engravings on each piece tell stories from the heart of Japan - with motifs of bamboo, which represents permanence and longevity, cherry blossoms, which symbolise the beauty and transience of life, and chrysanthemums, a sign of happiness and longevity. It is amazing how this set carries the quintessence of Japanese culture and aesthetics.
The tea set comes from a special time period - the Taisho period (1912-1926), which was called the "great justice". It was a time of change in which Japan honoured both its traditional values and the influence of Western cultures. In the midst of this cultural melting pot, this tea set was created, combining the best of both worlds.
But what makes this tea set truly special is its origin: Samurai Shokai in Yokohama. Founded by the visionary Japanese businessman Yozo Nomura (1870 - 1965), Samurai Shokai was not just a business at the beginning of the 20th century, it was a luxury empire. In those days, it was the ultimate sign of class and taste to own a product from Samurai Shokai. And today? Samurai Shokai silverware is not just a collector's item, it is a symbol of refinement and the taste of a bygone era that is now coveted worldwide.
Despite its age, this set presents itself in impressive condition, with only minimal signs of use that seem more like fond memories of teatimes past.
Let yourself be enchanted by this antique jewel that has more to offer than just a cup of tea. It is a piece of history and not only a serving dish for the laid table, but also an ideal wedding gift.
