Japanese Chocolate Sets Photos

Often marked Nippon, ceramic chocolate sets were imported from Japan into the USA. Sets consisted of a tall covered pot which narrowed at mid-cylinder plus five cups & saucers. Five is the standard number of vessels sold as a set in Japan, not 4, 6 or 12 which is the customary number in western cultures. Some European manufacturers copied the style.
