What is this?

Can anyone tell me what this is? I picked it up at a Value Village, I'm not even sure it's for tea.

The cups are called guinomi, and while usually meant for sake, it is perfectly acceptable for tea.

As for the funny pitcher, stick some flowers in it?

It's a tokkuri, which is a Japanese sake bottle, usually for warm sake.
