Vintage Mid-Century Japanese Biho Trio Porcelain Teapot Set

Vintage Mid-Century Japanese Bihō 美峰 Teapot Set • Vibrant Bird & Floral Motif •3-Piece

Add a piece of Mid-Century Japanese tradition with this beautiful three-piece vintage Japanese porcelain tea set from the Showa era (circa 1970s–1980s). This set features a traditional overhead bamboo-handled teapot paired with two matching, handless yunomi teacups.

Each piece is beautifully hand-decorated with a vibrant nature motif featuring songbirds (Japanese bush warblers) perched among blooming chrysanthemums and peonies.

The undersides bear the authentic handwritten red enamel signature 美峰 (Bihō / "Beautiful Peak"), and the cups still retain their original import gold foil labels—a rare find for collectors since these paper labels usually wash away over time.

Condition Report

This set is in good vintage condition and displays beautifully. Please review the specific condition notes below before purchasing:

• Structural Integrity: No chips, no cracks, and no major scratches anywhere on the porcelain.

• Details & Color: The elegant gold gilding and paint colors remain incredibly vibrant with little to no fading.

• Handle: The original bent-bamboo overhead handle is fully intact, flexible, and strong.

• Wear & Aging: Please note that the teapot lid is not included. Under close observation, there is light, natural vintage wear in the form of age-appropriate glaze crazing, which is typical for Japanese export ceramics of this era and adds to its authentic retro character.

Perfect for a collector looking to replace pieces, use as unique succulent planters, or display as an elegant mid-century accent.
