7 PORCELAIN JAPANESE TEA CUPS Blue White Japan Mixed Oxide Countryside Vintage
Vintage PORCELAIN JAPANESE TEA CUPS Blue On White Japan Mixed Oxide Countryside Forest Village. A set of 7 Japanese tea cups, each fired with its own pattern of mixed oxide porcelain and featuring blue on white transferware of the Japanese countryside. We are pleased to present this collection of 7 patterned Japanese tea cups. Each is individually decorated with the addition of oxide porcelain for a one of a kind pattern, and comes in a stunning transfer image of the countryside of ancient Japan. Oxides are used in much the same ways as underglaze colors.

They do not however give any indication of their final color which only develops when fired under a glaze. Applying a weak mixture of oxide and water onto a textured surface and then sponging off the surplus will leave a residue of oxide in the texture and often produces very attractive results under a transparent or white glaze.

Each of these tea cups stands at 4 1/2 inches tall and has a base 2 inches in diameter. Together, the lot weighs 4 pounds 6 ounces. Each of these tea cups appears to be free of cracks, chips, and crazing.

The colors on each are vibrant as is the unique oxide pattern. The item "7 PORCELAIN JAPANESE TEA CUPS Blue White Japan Mixed Oxide Countryside Vintage" is in sale since Tuesday, February 21, 2012. This item is in the category "Pottery & Glass\Pottery & China\China & Dinnerware\Made in Japan".
