The pattern features a Pink Hibiscus, with muted brown and green leaves, finished with a gold-gilded rim. This style was very popular in the 1920s and 30s as it blended traditional Japanese floral aesthetics with the Western demand for elegant tea service. Since this set was made nearly 100 years ago, the gold is very delicate. Never put these in a dishwasher or microwave. The metal in the gold trim will spark in a microwave, and dishwasher detergents will eventually strip the gold right off the porcelain. Manufacturing Period: This specific mark was primarily used between 1924 and 1935. Pristine condition.
