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.

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.
