<p>[QUOTE="popsycat, post: 145867, member: 1904"]My sister had one of the Japanese teasets with faces in the base of the cups. Her husband was a merchant seaman in the 1950's. When he docked in Japan he had 4 sets, inc teapot posted to various relatives,(it was part of the service) as did most of the crew. Thay all arrived intact. Hailing from a seafaring family in a seafaring port, I could always spot if someone had had a mariner in the family by the things in their house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
