Re: antique japanese tea set
This is what's called "Dragonware", most of it was made from the 1920's onward for the export market from Japan. It was made in very large numbers, so values even for whole sets tends to be modest. For incomplete sets values are very modest and about what you paid for yours.
Re: antique japanese tea set
I have one tea set like this one buyed in 1966 from a shop in Singapore( blue font) when I was seaman.
