Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Tea Set, Set for Six, Japan

Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Tea Set, Set for Six, Japan

By Satsuma

Located in Milano, IT

Japanese Satsuma Moriage Porcelain Tea Set, 19th Century An exceptionally decorative and highly evocative Japanese Satsuma Moriage porcelain tea service, dating from the 19th century, consisting of a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, and six teacups with matching saucers. This elegant set immediately catches the eye with its richly ornamented surfaces, where deep tones, luminous gilding, and finely hand-painted figural motifs come together in a composition of extraordinary visual impact. Each piece is carefully adorned with traditional Japanese figures—likely inspired by courtly or legendary subjects—framed within intricate decorative cartouches and surrounded by elaborate ornamental motifs. A particularly noteworthy feature of this service is the use of the Moriage technique, characterized by its delicate raised enamel decoration, which creates a softly sculptural, almost three-dimensional surface. This refined treatment enhances the depth and texture of the decoration, giving each element a precious and tactile quality. The interplay between the rich gilding, the polychrome accents, and the relief work demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with Satsuma ware. The set is further enhanced by a series of beautifully rendered details: elegantly shaped handles, finely decorated spouts, and especially the expressive finials modeled in zoomorphic form, which give the lidded pieces a distinctive and dramatic presence. The contrast between the richly decorated exterior and the lighter-toned interior of the cups adds an additional sense of balance and refinement. Each piece contributes to a harmonious and visually opulent ensemble, reflecting the fascination with Japanese decorative arts that flourished during the Meiji period and beyond. More than just a tea set, this is a work of art worthy of display—an object capable of enhancing a cabinet, salon, or formal interior with its character, elegance, and historical significance. This set, which originated in a private home in Milan, is in good overall antique condition, with minor flaws and signs of age consistent with its age and use. These slight imperfections do not detract from its beauty; rather, they speak to its authenticity and its history. Elegant, rare, and highly decorative, this Satsuma tea service...

Antique, New and Vintage Tea Sets

Ready to serve high tea and brunch for your family and friends? Start with the right antique, new or vintage tea set.

Tea is a multicultural, multinational beverage and isn’t confined to any particular lifestyle or age group. It has humble beginnings, and one of its best-known origin stories places the first cups of tea in 2700 B.C. in China, where it was recognized for its medicinal properties. Jump ahead to 17th-century England, when Chinese tea began to arrive at ports in London. During the early 1800s, tea became widely affordable, and the concept of teatime took shape all over England. Today, more than 150 million people reportedly drink tea daily in the United States.

Early tea drinkers enjoyed their beverage in a bowl, and English potters eventually added a handle to the porcelain bowls so that burning your fingers became less of a teatime hazard. With the rise in the popularity of teatime, tea sets, also referred to as tea service, became a hot commodity.

During Queen Victoria’s reign, teakettles and coffeepots were added to tea services that were quite large — indeed, small baked goods were served with your drink back then, and a tea set could include many teacups and saucers, a milk pot and other accessories.

During the early 1920s, a sterling-silver full tea service and tray designed by Tiffany & Co. might include a hot-water kettle on a stand, a coffeepot, teapot, a creamer with a small lip spout, a waste bowl and a bowl for sugar, which the British were stirring into tea as early as the 18th century.

But you don’t have to limit your tea set to Victorian or Art Deco styles — shake up teatime with an artful contemporary service. If the bold porcelain cups and saucers by Italian brand Seletti are too unconventional for your otherwise subdued tea circle, find antique services on 1stDibs from Japan, France and other locales as well as vintage mid-century modern tea sets and neoclassical designs.
