Dear Catherine,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and for your patience.
Based on the images, this item is:
A Japanese export porcelain rose tea set, moriage decorated with a palatial scenes, with a geisha lithophane in the cups, marked Chikusa Japan, manufactured in the time period 1920s-1940 or shortly after WW II in the early 1950s. These teasets were exported on a large scale and similar have survived until today.
It includes a tea pot, 5 tea cups and 3 small plated.
Good condition.
Retail prices may vary.
I have added a few more close up photos of the markings on the bottom of the teacups and teapot. Please let me know if there is something specific you would like to see better
