The lot also includes a gravy boat with a matching stand, a heart-shaped trinket box, and an assortment of teacups, saucers, side plates, and dinner plates. Each piece is decorated with traditional Japanese-inspired motifs featuring cranes, pagodas, and lush foliage, framed by a wide border of repeating geometric patterns and floral sprays in a palette of blue, green, iron-red, and ochre. The multi-colour transfer decoration is finished with a high-gloss glaze. This lot comprises the ceramic items only; the metal shelving and other background items shown in the images are not included.
