    Design is shape of standing male & female cats, he in suit & tie, wearing glasses, she in skirt & jacket, with purse & pearl necklace. They appear to be older couple. Rita Marandino’s name is copyrighted on the bottom of the teapot. I have not been able to find out anything about it. If you can help, I would appreciate it very much.

      Hello Sarah
      My friend was telling me yesterday she wanted to sell her Otagiri teapot and sugar bowl. The bowl has a small spoon.
