Description It is white with green vines and I think lemons. It has a gold dragon as a handle. The cups have a glaze inside of them. I think it might be considered a cocoa set.

Three brothers, Joseph, Daniel, and Edmund Willets founded Willets Manufacturing Company of Trenton, New Jersey, the company was in business from 1879 until at least 1909. Willets began making Belleek in 1887. Its successor, New Jersey China Pottery Co., made Belleek marked with the Willets name until c.1914. Willets also made white ware that was decorated by others. This appears to be a tankard. The red, brown, or black marks may be found on factory decorated pieces, but the brown and black marks also appear on non-factory decorated objects. If it is hand painted and signed by the artist it is worth more. The handle is a Serpent.
