You have a Japanese Kutani Whistling Lithophane saki set. The bird on the decanter whistles when liquid is poured out. The lovely geisha in the bottom of the cups are called lithophanes. The picture of the geisha you are showing is called the saki geisha.......it is fairly common. Age...you didn't show a picture of the marked on the  bottom so not sure. You have a set with one cup missing, set usually comes with 6 cups.
