Maker: This exquisite hand-painted cream and sugar set is by the renowned Japanese maker Morimura Brothers, the company that eventually became Noritake.

Age and marks: The green crown mark with \"Hand Painted Nippon\" on the base of both pieces dates the set\'s production to sometime between 1891 and 1921. Source: Van Patten\'s ABCs of Collecting Nippon by Joan Van Patten.
Condition: Despite its age, the set is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, repairs, crazing or discoloration. There is wear to the gold, especially the handles.
Size: The sugar bowl is 7 1/4 inches long between the far ends of the handles, 3 3/4 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall without the lid. The creamer is 5 3/4 inches wide, measured between the tip of the spout and the far end of the handle, and 2 1/8 inches tall, measured at the middle.
