| A set of five Sometsukue blue and white tea cups for Chinese style green tea enclosed in the original signed wooden box by Takahashi Dohachi. Outside joyful figures of birds and scholarly items while inside nothing disturbs the pure clarity of the tea. Each cup measures 1-3/4 inches (4.5 cm) tall, 2-1/2 inches (6.5 cm ) diameter and is signed within the base Kachutei Dohachi Sei (Made by Dohachi of the Kachu Pavilion). All are in excellent condition. Takahashi Dohachi was one in the line of great porcelain masters of Kyoto. The family began potting in the 18th century, and was brought to the forefront of porcelain by the second generation head of the family. From then it was known as one of the top three families in Kyoto for porcelain production. The fifth generation took control of the kiln in 1897. | ||||||||
