Beautiful!
I should also receive this set (with a chabako), if it doesn't get lost (?) by french postal services.

Another Southern girl guilty as charged! Before kids came along, what's now the playroom was the formal living room. Hubby deals in antiques so I had the room decorated w/Victorian sofa, etc including a silver tea set w/my cup & saucer collection displayed around the tea set. Unfortunately, I didn't drink tea then so I never got to use the tea set for the purpose intended.
If I were ever to get one again, I would use it & enjoy it.

It is an incense container (Kogo). I haven't much use for it, but it comes with the natsume and the chasen zutsu.

When is it a bowl and when is it a cup? I bought this as a cup, but it's a little on the large size.

It's still very pretty! Great photo, too. Bet it would be even prettier w/some OBO in it!
