This is a dish from the "Chaine d'Ancre" series. Specifically, this is a set of lidded yunomi (or Asian cup) and saucer designed for Japanese or Chinese tea, with platinum (silver-colored) edging instead of gold. While used as a yunomi for Japanese or Chinese tea, it can also be used as a small lidded bowl in restaurants. The silver color is lovely. There are no noticeable stains or scratches, but it has only been used a few times and is a USED item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this, as it has been stored.
