Re: Rare Vintage Japanese Moriage Dragon Tea Cups and Saucers...

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.

Yes, thought the full figures were pretty special. Does anyone else know of anything else about them, or what they would go for at auction. How old are they?

Re: Rare Vintage Japanese Moriage Dragon Tea Cups and Saucers...

I found out that these particular items were produced in the 1930's., ans are RARE because of the full figured girls in them. How rare, ans can you give me an idea what they would go for at auction.
