if in fact this is antique, search it well with a magnifying glass all over for a name. I have seen these go for up to $175.00 at auction. When you list it, list high with OBO and make sure you name your 1st picture for goole image upload as well as use google attributes to get superb exposure. Get very detailed photos because suitors will want very specific pictures in addition. Good Luck it is beautiful

Without a picture of your set, it’s really impossible to estimate value. These sets were popular in the late 19th century but similar sets were also reproduced later in Japan. The originals were European, often French. If your set is truly one of the antique groupings, it is quite valuable if undamaged.

My set is very similar to this style, only the enameling is floral with hues of soft browns, green and almost a tangerine color. Any idea of age, origin or value? Unfortunately I do not have photos and there are no markings.
