Vintage Japanese tea set 17 pieces
I inherited this set from my grandfather. It has 5 cups with plates, tea pot w/lid, sugar bowl w/lid and creamer. The cups have a lithophane geisha at the bottom, and they are very light weight. Dragon motifs in blue, white and brown.
My grandfather bought it when he was in the military.

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a japanese export porcelain tea set, moriage decorated with a dragon chasing pearl motif, 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. The estimate is based on auction results, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the item.
Thank you very much for your time and prompt response!
