12 PIECE (INCOMPLETE) JAPANESE PORCELAIN MORIAGE GOLD DRAGON TEA/DESSERT SET WITH GEISHA GIRL LITHOPHANE TEA CUPS AND DRAGON HEAD FINIALS & SPOUTS. ALL PIECES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION FOR THEIR AGE. SOME SIGNS OF WEAR AND FADE ON THE GOLD TRIM (SEE ALL 24 PICTURES). THERE IS A SINGLE TINY EDGE CHIP ON ONE OF THE CAKE/DESSERT PLATES (SEE LAST PICTURE). IT MAY BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. OTHER THAN THIS, NONE OF THE PIECES HAVE ANY CRACKS, CHIPS, OR REPAIRS.

THE PIECES ARE DECORATED IN A DRAGON MOTIF WITH DRAGON HEAD FINIALS AND SPOUTS. YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL THE RAISED DRAGONS AND PAINTINGS WHEN YOU TOUCH OVER THE PATTERN. THE BOTTOM OF THE CUPS ARE MOLDED WITH LITHOPHANE OF GEISHA'S PORTRAYED - SOMETIMES CALLED THE GARLAND GEISHA. A LITHOPHANE USES MANIPULATION OF THE PORCELAIN'S THICKNESS SO THAT A PICTURE SHOWS LIGHT IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH IT. THE GEISHAS ARE BEAUTIFUL UNDER THE LIGHT.

(1) 2-PIECE TEAPOT WITH LID
(1) 2-PIECE CREAMER WITH LID
(1) 2-PIECE SUGAR BOWL WITH LID
