antique porcelain tea set, hand painted snowdrops heart shape china teapot, cream & sugar

Lovely antique china teapot, cream pitcher and sugar bowl with hand painted snowdrops on a pale wash of blue. These aren't marked... possibly Nippon? possibly Germany? Very pretty in any case, and we love the heart shape of these pieces. The teapot measures 8" long x 5 1/2" tall, and holds about 6 cups.

There's damage to all three pieces, though it's not terribly visible to any. The tea pot has a chip on the spout, and both the creamer and sugar have chips and hairlines. Not really surprising as this china is nearly as fragile as an eggshell. This set has been well loved and well cared for during it's lifetime.
