The Vintage GR Japan hand-painted Tea Serving Set featuring butterflies, flowers, gold accents, and a gold dots trim exemplifies the beautiful craftsmanship typical of Japanese porcelain from the mid-20th century. The back marking shows a red "GR" sunrise emblem with "Made in Japan" underneath. This stamp was used by a specific Japanese manufacturer during the period when Japan was exporting large quantities of porcelain to Western markets, between the 1920s and the 1950s.
Butterflies and Flowers are traditional symbols of beauty and transformation in Japanese art. The delicate depiction of butterflies adds elegance and highlights nature’s role in Japanese aesthetics. The use of gold in porcelain painting, especially as accents around the edges or for decorative detailing like dots, showcases a luxurious and ornate finish, elevating these everyday items into highly attractive and collectible.
