you have a set of Japanese dragon ware...very nice by the way...the lithophane is a more hard to find one, usually they are only the head of a woman and not the full figure as shown.  They date from the mid to late 1930's by the look of the mark.  I sell the teacups for about $25 each, and I would add a bit of a premium for the full body lithophane.
