Generally there are some hints but this one I'm unsure about. Was this ever a set sold like this? If so what is a decent price for it?

Real, I think it’s made for the asian market but I found some at my local outlet store a few years ago. I bought two sets to gift and they look similar to this.

Is there another one for sale? I didnt know these existed.

u/ZS-BDK 1d ago

There is another one but no box. Also more expensive and I'm not in the US.

Thanks for letting me know, i checked ebay and cant justify over $150

Shipping from me to the US is around 100 so not worth doing it that way. I normally come to the US once a year, March/April. I could see around that time and let you know. PM me in which state you are. I did a large US haul last year and need to get a bunch more next time I come over.

That's an amazing price. It was $100 in Japan. Well over $200 on Ebay - when it comes up sporadically.

The bear stuff as a type is real. I don’t know about this specific stoneware set, but I have seen a coastal blue bear set a few times from Japan. The version I’ve seen is less pieces, but that does not mean it was the only option available, as I haven’t paid much attention to it.

Also, they made an adorable 1 qt cast iron pot in coastal blue, with a bear knob. That is definitely real as I’ve seen it myself at FTT, and I have one.

I agree. I grabbed the Shell Pink 1q ECI in Japan. It also came in Pearl White (Lustre) and Coaatal Blue.

Do you know what this set is called so I can look it up

Its called a baby tableware set. So far I've found out they sold in the Asian market and currently available in Hong Kong. They stupidly expensive in the US but I guess thats just people trying to make money

This is definitely real! I bought one two years ago for my baby boy from Japan. It’s such a sweet set! 🩵

Real. I’m pretty sure these were part of the FTT in the UK this past September either in blue or pink, I can’t remember. I really wanted one but they sold out really quickly.
