1920s Moriyama Morimura Bone Japan Blue Willow Gold Tea Set

This item is a Moriyama-Morimura Blue Willow tea set dating from the 1920s. The vintage porcelain set features a variant polychrome Willow pattern with high-relief decorations of pagodas, trees, and birds over a blue background. These sets often include teapots, cups, saucers, and serving pieces with distinctive blue and gold designs. They are rare collectibles.
Items in this pattern are often marked with a double "M" symbol for Moriyama-Morimura or identified with the Hinode brand.
It is a rare, polychrome "Gaudy Blue Willow" variant. Unlike traditional blue-and-white Willow patterns, this version uses a deep cobalt blue base with colorful hand-painted scenes of pagodas, bridges, and trees.
The set features Moriage, an ancient Japanese technique where slip is applied to create raised, textured decorations on the porcelain surface.
