Fine Porcelain Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003ePour the afternoon a little romance. This vintage Japanese mocha service shimmers with that unmistakable mother-of-pearl lustre glaze, the kind that catches the light and refuses to behave. A tall, gracefully waisted coffee pot with a finialled lid presides over six little cups, every piece carrying a hand-finished transfer of an eighteenth-century courting couple in the manner of Fragonard, all powder and plum velvet and meaningful glances. Gilt rims and gilded floral sprigs complete the picture. It is small, it is theatrical, and it was clearly made for people who take their coffee with a side of intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is marked on the underside \u003cem\u003eL.T.R. Fine Porcelain Japan\u003c\/em\u003e, the iridescent lustreware that Japanese factories exported in delightful quantity through the mid twentieth century. Honest about itself: this is a charming decorative service, not eggshell-thin antique porcelain, and the romantic scene is a printed transfer rather than a painted original. That is exactly its appeal. Complete, gleaming and ready to perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis little service loves company.
