This very unique teapot and teacup came from a Chinese estate sale. I'm not sure how old it is, but all the items in the house had been gathering dust for 40 years before they were sold off, so at the very least it's that age.

I'll be wary with porcelain coming from "Thai" origins, they do fake quite a bit back home.

Did the Thai guy provide a letter of authenticity or solid document to prove its origin? *Curious*
