PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PURCHASING (OR offerDING ON). DUE TO THE DELICACY OF THE PIECES AND THE AGE NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS WILL BE ACCEPTED. ASK QUESTIONS FIRST!18PCS OF VERY RARE EARLY 1900s TAKITO FINE CHINA TEA CUPS, PLATES, BOWLS MORIAGE GEISHA GIRLS. THIS SET HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR WHAT I\'VE BEEN TOLD OVER 70 YEARS. THIS SET BELONGED TO MY GREAT GRAND MOTHER AND WAS A WEDDING GIFT TO HER AND HER HUSBAND WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED IN 1909. WHICH I VERIFIED THE YEAR VIA AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH ON ANCESTRY. I FIND NO REASONS NOT TO BELIEVE THE YEARS VERIFIED AS MY MOTHER HAS CONFIRMED MY GRAND MOTHERS BIRTH YEAR AND THE FAMILY TREE HAS CORRECT INFORMATION. HOWEVER, MY RESEARCH ON TAKITO COMPANY WAS THAT THEY MADE FINE PORCELAIN CHINA FROM 1880-1948. MY RESEARCH HAS ALSO CONCLUDED THAT THE DOUBLE T MARK AND MADE IN JAPAN MARK WASN\'T USED UNTIL 1922 AND STOPPED IN 1944. SO WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION PROVIDED AND RESEARCHED I WILL NOT SAY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WHEN IT WAS MADE FOR SURE OR WHEN SHE RECEIVED IT AS A GIFT. I DID FIND OUT THAT OTHER COMPANIES MADE GEISHA GIRLS PORCELAIN PIECES AS WELL SO I\'M LEFT TO THINK THAT IT\'S POSSIBLE THAT ONLY ONE PIECE IS FROM TAKITO. I URGE ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS SET TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ASK QUESTIONS FIRST OR COMPLETE YOUR OWN RESEARCH.THIS IS AN 18PC SET WHICH INCLUDES: 3 TEA CUPS, 2 SMALL TEA CUPS, 6 SAUCERS, 2 SMALL SAUCERS, 4 FRUIT/NUT BOWLS AND 1 SERVING PLATE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES PROVIDED, THERE ARE CONDITION ISSUES SUCH AS CHIPS, CRACKS AND CRAZING. THE HAND PAINTED DESIGNS SEEM TO BE IN VERY NICE CONDITION AND DID NOT FLAKE OR CHIP OFF WHEN I WAS CLEANING THE SET. MY MOTHER HAD THIS SET IN HER HUTCH UNTIL ABOUT 22YRS AGO WHEN SHE DISPLAYED THE SET ON BUILT IN\'S WITH NO GLASS PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS. ABOUT 8YRS AGO SHE PACKED IT UP BUT DIDN\'T CLEAN IT BEFORE HAND. SO THERE ARE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO\'S OF THE SET WHICH CLEANED UP BEAUTIFULLY. I\'M SURE IT COULD USE ANOTHER THOROUGH CLEANING AS I WAS PARANOID OF CRACKING OR PAINT DAMAGE SINCE IT\'S SUCH DELICATE AND THIN PORCELAIN. PLEASE BE SURE TO INSPECT ALL PHOTOGRAPHS CAREFULLY AS THIS IS CONSIDERED PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. I DID PICTURE COLLAGES SO THAT I COULD GET AS MUCH OF THE CONDITION AND EVERY PIECE IN THEM. EMAIL IF THERE IS A SPECIFIC ONE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE INDIVIDUALLY AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND ANY OR ALL TO YOU. THERE JUST WAS SIMPLY TOO MUCH TO PHOTOGRAPH TO NOT DO COLLAGES.THIS SET WILL ONLY BE SHIPPED VIA USPS PRIORITY WHETHER IN THE USA OR INTERNATIONALLY WITH INSURANCE. THERE IS A HANDLING FEE ADDED TO THE SHIPPING TO COVER INSURANCE AND THE ADDED COST OF PACKING SUPPLIES. ONCE SOLD AND PACKAGED WILL BE SHIPPED IN 2 SEPARATE BOXES DUE TO THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THE SET. I WILL NOT OVERLOAD A BOX TO FIT ALL OF THE SET IN ONE SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK.I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN CAREFULLY PACKAGING ALL BREAKABLES. ALL ITEMS ARE BUBBLE WRAPPED EXTREMELY WELL AND PLENTY OF PACKING PEANUTS ARE USED TO PREVENT MOVEMENT AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL TO IT\'S NEW HOME. I DO NOT USE PACKING PAPER AND DO NOT SQUEEZE ITEMS INTO BOXES THAT ARE TOO SMALL. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE SPECIAL PACKING REQUESTS AS I AM UNABLE TOACCOMMODATE INDIVIDUAL REQUESTS. IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING MY PACKING SKILLS PLEASE VIEW MY response. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING!
