Japanese(?)/Chinese(?) Tea Set

Hi Guys. I inherited an oriental tea set some years ago and I am now keen to find out a bit more about it if I can. It consists of i large pot a smaller jug, a two handled lidded jar and an open bowl as well as the usual cups saucers and plates. It appears to be made of a very fine porcelain (eggshell?) and appears to be hand-decorated with pictures of birds of various species. The quality of the painting is quite astonishing and the fine detail achieved is remarkable. Each piece is marked with what I believe is a factory mark and possibly an artist's mark. The attached pics show the mark and also give some idea of the quality of the decoration. Any ideas as to the origin and also whether there is someone who can interpret and decipher the mark. Many thanks.

Why Not Enter a Free Appraisal Request

Nice pictures of the tea set.  Why not enter this in as an appraisal request?  I'm sure that someone will be able to tell you where this set is from and possibly the current valuation.

Enjoy,
Joseph

Oriental tea set

Your picture quality is terrific ... I thought you might like to know that Jan-Erik Nilsson has a great site with Oriental marks for porcelain. You might find your marks there. One thing to note, is that most older marks are blue while newer ( in the last 40 years) are red.

His site is www. gotheborg.com

hope you find it helpful

The second mark down would indicate that it is Japanese in origin. You might be able to find out what the rest of the marks mean at http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/index_jap_marks.htm
