I was wondering what is the history of this pair of Ceramic Samurai flower holders? The finish up close is of a crackled texture. I have never heard of "Japan's Kobe" before so am curious to know more about these items. Many thanks.

My uncle gave me this Dragonware set as a gift. He doesn't remember if it had a sticker underneath as many years have passed since he purchased it. The set is of a lustre pearly finish and is comprised of 6 cups with their saucers, Tea pot, creamer and sugar cup.  I have no idea if this is genuine Dragonware or not so any history on this set would be appreciated. Many thanks!

I am curious what kind of dish this is as well as what the value of the dish is. I don't think it is a butter dish. It seems too large. Also, it doesn't look like other butter dishes put out by James W. Tufts. There are several items by him that appear online frequently. I was unable to find this one.
