As a thank you gift I was given some antique china. At first I was overwhelmed with this gift, my house is full and I don't have room for any more stuff. But then I moved things around in my china cabinet and on the side board where some other china pieces rest.
It came in a big box. I did not know what was in the box and it was heavy. This was from a client of mine whose aunt passed away(who was also a client of mine) She knew of my collection of china so she gifted me these dishes. I called right away to thank her and she said she thought they dated prior to WW2.
The box included a set of bright orange dishes with 14 karat gold plated cups and saucers and tea pot and sugar and creamer and 6 salad plates. They are hand painted with flowers and a blue bird, the cups have gold on the inside. I took a piece to an antique mall today and the owner said they were collectable and had value.I will try to post a picture of them so you guys can see them.
They are very pretty and actually fit right in with the rest of my collection.
They are marked Chikaramachi, hand painted and made in japan. The owner said he thought they were from the 30's. I tried researching alittle and found nothing that came even close to what these look like. They are very unusual being solid bright orange!
any of you like china or collect items?
Over the years I have collected cups and saucers, elephants and blue glass items.
