I have this beautiful Tea Set from Japan made by Seyei. It is pattern SEY34. That is all I know about it. I know that Replacements LTD has it listed but no pieces are available so I can’t see prices on it. I want to sell the set but I have no idea of when it was manufactured or have any other info required for it to show up in Google search. Any help would be appreciated! Here are a few pictures. P.S. Why are some of the responses missing? I just notice that Montrose’s post is gone?

I contacted Replacements recently for info on a set of sterling flatware. You can actually get them to email you a price list, of what they would be willing to pay. It’s not as high as you’d ask, by a long shot, but may give you a bit of an idea. They will explain how they choose the pricing.

Wow, this is very elaborate. Beautiful indeed!
The ‘form’ though says it is either a Coffee Set or a Mocha set –
depends on the size.
The can seems small – so it should be a Mocha Set.
Surely not a tea set… ;)
Tea Cups are open and flat to have the tea breath and ‘give’ you it’s aroma …
Coffee Cups try to “keep the flavor in”, so they are round and higher

Seyei China is from Japan. I agree it is probably a chocolate set. You can see Seyei on Replacements.com

I did not take the time to find your pattern for you but it should be there. You might be able to read what is says under the Seyei that will give you a clue to the pattern name.
Good Luck it is a beautiful set. Probably dates from 1930 to 1950

Over years of researching all sorts of antiques for our other stores, I have collected a large “folder” of sites for assorted pottery & porcelain backstamps and marks (besides actual books of them). I don’t have many on Japan/Nippon but here are a [URL removed]

Try and match the backstamp to the examples. This may possibly be old enough to be Nippon, so don’t forget to cover that, too.
Often the appearance of the backstamp will help discern what year range the item was manufactured by the company in, depending on what style the company was using during those years. [URL removed] some years they may use a wreath, others they may use interlocking intials; some years they may stamp in green, others in red, etc.
You’re lucky, at least you’re dealing with a readable backstamp with words! I’ve about killed myself trying to figure out origin, age, & maker by just a blurry symbol!
Hope this helps!
