Vintage Japanese Lusterware Cruet Set with Caddy

There’s something quietly captivating about mid-century Japanese lusterware, and this complete cruet set captures it beautifully. Finished in a warm amber-gold luster with soft lavender-blue accents, each piece reflects light like polished metal while retaining the delicate translucence of glazed ceramic.
The set includes two matching cruets with elegant black handles and flared lavender necks, perfectly balanced on their original handled caddy. The sculptural form and mirror-like glaze give this set a distinctly Art Deco–meets–Mid-Century feel—decorative, yet undeniably functional.
Marked “Made in Japan” on the base, this set dates to the post-war export era, when Japanese potteries were producing refined, eye-catching tableware for Western homes. Pieces like this were often reserved for special occasions and display, which explains the strong color saturation and reflective finish still present today.
Ideal as:
• A statement piece for a vintage bar or dining hutch
• A unique oil & vinegar or syrup cruet set
• Display décor for collectors of Japanese ceramics or lusterware
• A thoughtful gift for lovers of mid-century design
Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear. No cracks or repairs noted. Luster remains vibrant and reflective.
A sculptural, display-worthy set that bridges utility and artistry—exactly the kind of piece that makes a shelf or table feel curated rather than cluttered.
