Kutani blue dragonware saki set

Description

Pitcher and cups have a blue wavey background with fire breathing dragon.  Small bird on top is gold.  Each of the 5 cups has a lithopane on the bottom, two different women.  I assume one cup has been lost or broken. Cups are of the same blue with dragon.

<p>Dragonware was a mass produced &quot;Made for Export&quot; item, made from the turn of the 19th Century until after World War Two. Values for it remain quite modest, currrently the saki sets sell for less than $60.00.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>
