Maruhon Ware ceramic tomato teapot, Sugar And Creamer, Salt And Pepper Shakers

This ceramic teapot is part of a line of "tomato ware" pieces produced in Japan, primarily during the late 1940s and 1950s. The items are hand-painted with a bright orange-red body and green leaves and vines forming the spout, handle, and lid knob. Pieces from this collection are often marked "Made in Occupied Japan" or simply "Made in Japan," sometimes with a "K" in a circle mark for Maruhon Ware.
