    Hello, I'm a total n00b in need of some assistance! Got my hands on this tea set today, but I'm not sure when it would have been made or what it might be worth. I can see it's made by Ten Fu, and I assume that all the markings are simply the logo, but other than that I have no idea. I tried "the Google," but unfortunately there are so many Ten Fu sets out there, I just wasn't able to find what I was looking for! The (I think) original price tag of 45,000 yen is still on one of the pieces.

    Thank you so much in advance for anyone who has any information to contribute! 20251222_183733.jpg 20251222_184035.jpg 20251222_183743.jpg 20251222_184039.jpg 20251222_184559.jpg 20251222_184607.jpg 20251222_184703.jpg

    Welcome Jarer
    I have a similar set that I paid $20 usd.
    45,000 yen equals about 285.00 usd. I hope you didn't pay that much.

    Wow! Definitely paid more than $20. Paid about twice the price of the ebay set. Though there are a few extra pieces included in the set I have. Overpaid a bit, I guess. But a set I'm happy to have nonetheless! Thank you!

    If you are happy with it that's all that matters.

    Unfortunately it's newer than I imagined too. Ten Fu has been around since 1993, but Ten Fu's Tea as a brand started up in 2011. So it's at most 14 years old. Oh well! Thank you all for your help!
