Vintage Japanese Kyusu Tea Set, Showa Era (SKU 25D-188-1)

Elegant Showa-era seihakuji porcelain tea set with refined sharing pitcher and cups

This vintage Japanese tea set features a softly rounded yuzamashi (water-cooling / sharing pitcher) and matching cups in a pale seihakuji-style glaze. The milky blue-white porcelain, with its understated translucence, reflects the minimalist aesthetics favored in late Showa-era tea culture, pairing beautifully with both Japanese and contemporary interiors.

The flowing, lobed rim of the pitcher forms gentle spouts for smooth, controlled pouring, while the small handle-less cups sit on neatly finished foot rings, one bearing an incised potter’s mark. Ideal for sencha or gongfu-style tastings, this compact vintage Japanese tea set invites slow, attentive brewing and makes a subtle, sophisticated addition to any teaware collection.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
