This Vintage set is more than likely post 1952 as it's not labeled as "Occupied Japan". It's in fantastic condition but it absolutely gives the vibe of being a mid-century set. The coloration of the set is beautiful and it's a perfect, functional addition to any collection. We've had the set for over 5 years ourselves and it's just wonderful to have. Don't be afraid to make an offer we accept a LOT of them! Be sure to check out our other different listings too!!! Thanks for looking y'all!
