[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 4308419, member: 59"]Thanks for the additional pictures. First this may not be a set for tea. The tall pot with its spout right up under the lid, is not normally for tea, but rather for coffee or chocolate. You can certainly use it for whatever you care to, but if you intend to sell, you should call it coffee or chocolate. The signature is too obscure to determine the identity of the decorator, and also is entirely possible to be that of a hobbyist.
