Beautiful and rare Japanese Satsuma porcelain tea set for twelve, dating to the early 20th century (c.1920–1940).
Each piece is finely hand painted with elegant geisha figures beneath blooming cherry trees, highlighted with raised gilt details and classic red accents. The set includes 12 cups, 12 saucers, a large teapot, lidded sugar bowl and creamer – a complete ensemble that is exceptionally hard to find in this size.
The thin-walled porcelain, delicate enamels and the oval Satsuma mark confirm its period production and traditional craftsmanship.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
