TAKITO TT Lusterware Creamer Pitcher Cherry Blossom Blue Orange Japan Hand Paint

Description: This is a lusterware creamer from Takito Company, hand painted in Japan. The pattern features a blue band around orange. A hand painted cherry blossom on a tree branch extends across both bands of color. If you are trying to match an existing collection, please note that the band of blue on this one is on top of the orange. I have also seen this decorated in the reverse. Be sure this matches your set! Measures 3 1/2" to top of spout, 4 3/4" handle to spout, 3 1/2" short diameter. NO cracks, no chips, no repairs, no obvious blemishes that I can find. A very nice piece of Japanese lusterware dating from between 1921-1945. How I Assess Vintage Pieces Please note that my written descriptions are not AI-generated! These are written by a human physically looking at the actual piece. My listings are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the listing, with both photos and descriptions. This means you know what you are getting from me. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminished shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item. Problems: In the event of a problem, please contact me asap. I want you to be happy with your purchase! Returns: Returns accepted within 30 days of purchase. Buyer pays return postage. No refund will be given if item arrives broken or damaged, so please pack returns very carefully. Feedback I leave feedback within a week after your item is received. If you are considering leaving neutral or negative feedback, please contact me first! I appreciate the chance to make things right. If you check out my feedback, you will see I do not often disappoint. Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items? WAXWING MID MOD may be able to help! Let me know what you are after. At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms. I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about. I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their lives, bodies, education, and destiny. It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
