Creamer and sugar bowl Satsuma Moriage Immortals tea set MCM painted and enamelware hand painted clear chipping rubbing stamped Japan sold TT
Satsuma Moriage creamer and sugar bowl (we think). Part of a larger set.
**Please see links for quick access to other listings.**
Creamer: approximately 7 in from the dragon's mouth to the edge of the handle, approximately maybe 6 and 1/4 in tall including the lid and it looks like almost five and a half inches tall without the lid. Interior opening is a little over 2 and 1/2 in, and the interior rim of the lid is about 2 and 1/4 inches. The face is approximately a little over 2 and 1/4 in.
Sugar bowl is approximately 7 in across from both handles give or take that's an estimate. It's about 6 and 1/4 inches tall with the lid on maybe four and a half inches tall without the lid. Opening is approximately 2 and 3/4 in and in a rim of the lid is about 2 and 1/4 in. It is not terribly stable on the bottom and does have a little sold wobble to it.
This creamer and sugar bowl are in good condition but not great condition. They were not very well taken care of previously.
The colors appear much brighter (borderline gaudy) to us than we feel our photos show.
There is rubbing on the gold parts of the dragon heads. The lids are approximately the same and interchangeable to the best of our knowledge.
Notice in pictures that there is paint rubbing. There is some chipping like on the handle of the sugar bowl that feels like a chip, though not a deep one. Some spots are missing paint which might have just been how it happened when they were being made since they are hand-painted. Both are stamped on the bottom. Please see photos to see different aspects of their wear.
We are always happy to take more photos or to answer questions regarding the item. Etsy only allows 10 photo slots and understandably a customer may want to see a few more. Overall they seem to have clean interiors and please remember that these are decoration only and not intended for food use to our knowledge. Also remember that these are hand-painted so there will be some natural variation and parts of the paint that have been missed there's a paint spot on the handle of the creamer. There's some possible discoloration on one of the lids. And enamel dot clay dot is a little slipped from one of the flowers on the creamer. Again please see photos.
