Nikko Double Phoenix This item has been stored at my parents' home for a long time. It's a Showa retro item that was popular in the 1970s and 80s. I think it's rare to find unused teacups & saucers from this series. It's a beautiful and elegant tea set with a white base and small blue and pink floral patterns. The design is applied using in-glaze transfer technology, which enhances the gloss and durability. This product has crazing, which is a hairline crack-like appearance caused by the difference in shrinkage between the body and the glaze. It's not a crack in the ceramic itself and doesn't affect the body; the crazing is part of the design. See photo 11. There is a small chip on the back of the blue saucer. See photo 14. Cup Diameter: 8 cm Height: 7.5 cm Saucer Diameter: 14 cm The box is not included. Please consider purchasing only if you understand that this item has been stored at a private residence. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections.
