Antique japanese tea set with guisha women at bottom of cups when held up to light. There are 6 cups, 4 saucers, and cream and sugar holders. There are dragons on the sides of cups and holders and dragons on saucers
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.
