Vintage Japanese Cobalt Blue Porcelain Peacock Sake Set

$63.00

Bring the drama of a vintage Japanese sake service to your table or display cabinet with nine coordinated porcelain pieces in deep cobalt blue. Peacock and peony motifs, colorful accents and gold-gilt details give the set a richly decorative look.

Use the carafes and cups when serving sake or tea, then display the matching jar and miniature vase alongside them. The vase adds a distinct detail, with a hand-painted Japanese court carriage and chrysanthemum design.

  • Two sake carafes: Each stands approximately 5.5 inches tall and has a narrow neck with a flared rim for pouring.
  • Five cups: Small, cylindrical cups have white-glazed interiors for a clean contrast with the blue exterior.
  • Lidded jar: The round condiment or sugar jar carries the peacock design, with a vent hole in its lid.
  • Miniature vase: The coordinating cabinet vase brings its own carriage and chrysanthemum motif to the display.
  • Color and decoration: Cobalt glaze is accented with peacock details in gold, red, green and white, plus gold-gilt outlining and bright gold rims.
  • Vintage condition: All nine pieces, including the jar lid, are described as free of chips, cracks, hairline fractures and structural repairs; the gold trim has virtually no wear.

Clean raw-clay bases and original retail labels remain on the undersides. Arrange the full set together as a striking focal point for a home bar, dining table or cabinet.

Condition is noted carefully, because every piece has lived a life before this one.
