Hayakawa Silver Creamer & Sugar Pot & Tray

A set of a creamer and sugar pot from Hayakawa Silver. ??

This set, featuring an elegant cat-footed creamer and sugar pot with a matching patterned plate, is truly exquisite. Why not elevate your tea time with this sophisticated set?

The photos may appear golden due to lighting, but the actual color is a brilliant silver.

This item was purchased at a tableware exhibition.
Although it was bought quite some time ago, as explained at the time, it has aged without any silver tarnishing. I was told it has a special coating, a unique technology in Japan.
This silverwear brand, based in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, is handcrafted by skilled artisans who use carefully selected materials. Each piece undergoes rigorous checks through complex processes to achieve its final finish.

It is used in the reception halls of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, as well as in famous hotels and cafes overseas.

To care for it, simply rinse with lukewarm water after use and wipe dry with a soft cloth. It requires minimal effort. If food residue is present, wash with a neutral dish soap and then wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid using the abrasive side of sponges, scouring powders, or dishwashers, as they can scratch the surface.

This manufacturer offers after-sales service, including paid refurbishment.

While it has not been used as tableware, it may have been washed.
It has been displayed in a curio cabinet for a long time.
Upon inspection for this listing, I found several scratches on the creamer and plate, likely from accidental bumps (please refer to photos 14 and 15).
Faint black lines and dots are visible inside the creamer. It is unclear if these are from the manufacturing process.
There are also some areas that appear to be chipped on the underside of the cat feet of the creamer and sugar pot.
Please check the images for details.

The oval tray measures approximately 16.5 cm in height and 23.5 cm in width.

I recall purchasing it for tens of thousands of yen, but I don't remember the exact price. A quick online search suggests it is typically sold in the range of approximately 30,000 to 50,000 yen.

Please understand that there may be minor, overlooked scratches. We kindly ask that those seeking a perfect item refrain from purchasing.
