As you can see this is not a complete set. We received this from my mother's estate (we found stuff we had never laid eyes on...). It's stamped Hand painted, made in Japan with Double T inside Diamonds in a red or orange stamp. I've spent a lot of time researching and I have found a lot of the blue set (see creamer) but not the mint set. Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, one cup has a severe crack in it. Can this be fixed by a professional?

The Takito company 1880-1948, is mostly known as one of those specializing on the Lustre ware type of decoration originally developed by the Noritake company but pieces with moriage decoration in Moriage a'la Kyoto Satsuma on porcelain, are also common. Between 1891 to 1921 the products should be marked 'Nippon'. Marks later than 1945 usually comes with the addition of "Made in Occupied Japan ". -- Basically, yours would date from 1922-1944
aghcollect, would like to hear your opinion on the teapot set Leep posted in another thread here.
