24 piece moriage dragonware teaset

Description:

For auction is a lovely Japanese moriage dragonware teaset with geisha lithophane/lithopane. It has a covered teapot, a covered creamer and a covered sugar, 6 cups, 6 saucers and 6 dessert plates. The cups have a very nice, very clear Geisha lithophane at the bottom , (see photo). Everything is in excellent condition, found wrapped in a box with tissue paper and I suspect it has hardly been used. The frosting like moriage is liberally used and is in perfect shape. There is an 1/8th inch rough spot, ( a very small dot, really) on the rim of a saucer but it looks like in the making, not damage. Other than that very minor imperfection, I can find nothing else to complain about. It is marked "lucky China". It's exact age is unknown to me, but you, who are the collectors of dragonware would know better than I. I guess I would say perhaps it's in the 1940's either just before or just after the war. That's WW11 for you young ones.
