Charming Oriental Motif Luncheon Set with Tea Pot, circa late 1940's, early 1950's - Handpainted! These were convenient little dishes: each person had their own plate, which had a place for a cup to set; very handy to sit informally and hold in one hand, very handy for sandwiches or finger foods!

Each plate measures approx 8-1/2" x 7-1/4", oval shape, decorated with a scene of a swan in the river reeds, with a cottage,trees, and a ship on the horizon. The border of the scene is a wide band of iridescent blue. The rim of each plate even has an indentation in which to place your teabag, or lemon slice, or what-have-you!

The same scene is repeated on the cups as is on the plates, and the interior of each cup is a lovely iridescent pale yellow/orange, with gold detailing on the handle. The tea pot carries the same pattern as the cup and plate. It is accented with gold on the spout, handle, and finial.
