Six-Piece Hand Made Korean Tea Serving Set---This is solid brass handcrafted in Korea in the 1950s it is amazingly durable and can serve as either an actual cooking set or a decoration. Pictures 13 and 14 plainly show a small piece of red paper. This red paper was slipped through a place in the bottom of the plate that is soldered or sealed. I cannot be certain where the tea set was made. It was purchased from a U.S, serviceman who was in South Korea in the late 1950s. He said at that time the South Koreans were using brass from artillery rounds left behind after the war to manufacture a lot of objects to sell to tourists and GI's. Components of the set are: 1. 1 12-3/4 in. diameter high decorated blass plate wgich is 1-inch deep with a 10-inch diameter foot bottom 2. Two (2) 4-1/2 in all brass saucers w 2, 5 0z. tea cups 3. 1 5-1/2 x 4-1/2 in brass pitcher w/lid weighing 9 0z. w/lid 4. A 5-1/4 in wide x 4-1/2 in tall brass sugar bowl 5. A 8-1/4 in tall x 9-1/2 in wide ornate all brass tea pot wt 2 lb 3 oz, This is a highly unique highly collectible tea service which is nearing the age of being antique.
