Description: Free eBay listing template designed by dewiso.com Vintage Yixing-Style 6 Piece Dragon Tea Set with Mother of Pearl Inlay Selling a vintage, absolutely gorgeous Yixing-style ceramic tea set with coloration reminiscent of classic cinnabar lacquer, and mother of pearl design inlays beneath each cup. This tea set is on the smaller end of the spectrum (the tray is 9" wide and 7" deep) and is more than likely intended to be a decorative piece. The mother of pearl inlays catch the light quite well, producing a beautiful glimmering effect. Every single piece in this set, from the ornate dragon tea pot to the individual tea cups, are intricately crafted and detailed. The tea pot itself is positively beautiful. I am unsure as to the exact age of this tea set, but my personal estimate would be that it comes from the early to mid 1900s. This piece is in wonderful condition, with very few signs of use. Minor areas where age/wear are evident (refer to pictures of the tray's side), primarily having to do with wear to the lacquer. Likewise, there are a few small areas (one being the foot on the underside of the tray) where a tiny bit of the ceramic beneath the lacquered surface is visible. This is, as far as tea sets are concerned, rather heavy. Each piece appears to be 100% ceramic, giving the set a very weighty, quality feel. The set's combined weight comes in at nearly 3 lbs. The dimensions and weight for each piece can be found below.
