This is a Chinese tea set from Jingdezhen with a "firefly" translucent design. Jingdezhen is a world-renowned porcelain brand located in Jiangxi Province, China, with a history of over 1,000 years. Jingdezhen's "firefly translucence" (hotaru sukashi/hotarude) is a technique where small holes are carved into the porcelain body before firing. When held up to the light, the translucent pattern appears faintly, like the light of a firefly, which is its main characteristic. - Set includes: Teapot, 5 teacups - Design: White porcelain with blue patterns - Material: Ceramic - Size: Teapot: Approximately 10.5cm high Teacups: Approximately 7cm in diameter, 5.5cm high - Comes with a bamboo storage basket It has been displayed in a glass-doored sideboard at home for a long time and has been cleaned for this listing. The teapot has about three small black spots and a small chip on the inside of the handle. The teacups have some dirt and scratches on the bottom. Please understand that this is a long-term home storage item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections or seek perfection.
