MORIAGE PORCELAIN DRAGON 21 PIECE TEA SET HANDCRAFTED--DRAGONWARE

Category
China
Condition
Mint
Description

Can anyone tell me what period this set if from and if it is Satsuma? There's no markings at all on the bottom of the plates, cups etc. It has an incredible blue color.  Any idea what this might be worth? Did I pay too much?  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set features entirely handcrafted and handpainted porcelain tea and luncheon set with 24 kt gilt Dragon's heads on the pouring spouts, top handles, inside rims of cups and around saucer rims. This large set consists of the following 21 pcs:

  • One Large Tea Pot, measuring 8" tall x 9" wide
  • One Large Creamer, measuring 6.5" tall x 7.5" wide
  • One Large Sugar Bowl, measuring 6.5" tall x 7.5" wide
  • Six Luncheon Plates, measuring 7.5" in diameter 
  • Six Saucers, measuring 5.5" in diameter
  • Six Tea Cups, measuring 3.5" tall x 4" wide (Please note: one of the teacups is slightly different than the rest, the primary difference is the lithophane and lack of gold rim inside the bottom of one cup).  

The set is very impressive having a 3-D effect with raised areas and gilded rims. NOTE: When the tea cups are empty, you can hold the cup up to the light and see the relief image of a woman's face. This is known as a Lithophane, a beautiful geisha's face in the bottom in the cup bottom. 
This entire set is in excellent condition having no chips, cracks or breaks.
