This tea set was created by Brown & Richie Ltd., imported from Japan. Production of this style largely ceased by the 1930s, making these early 20th-century pieces collectible. A full set usually includes: A teapot with lid and metal handle. Two condiment/jam jars with lids (and sometimes original spoons). This set is missing one spoon, and the other has signs of being repaired. (Please see photos) A syrup/creamer pitcher with lid. Salt and pepper shakers (with cork stoppers). One or two ashtrays, which can also be used as spoon rests. A two-piece base or caddy to hold the pieces. This set is missing the handle bar which typically sticks out from the center point of the base. This does not affect the functionality of the set, however. But, warrants mention. This set would make a wonderful gift to the tea drinker in your life, or simply for someone who appreciates the timeless beauty and craftmanship of vintage items.
