Featured Unmarked Cup and Saucer

I have seen this style before but there are no markings of any kind. The cup is 2 1/4" high and 2 1/2" diameter. The saucer is 4 3/4" diameter. Thanks in advance for all the experts in the forum!

 

If you take the cup and hold it into the light, you should see a geisha head. Its japanese, something around 60s, also could be later. Not really something special, I think it was sold to tourists back than.

This is how a lithophane cup would look. They are not all lithophane.

It has been long debated in this forum whether it is true moriage, but many are listed as such.
It’s not something well versed in to have an opinion.

 

Thank you Vell and i need help. And to my surprise, yes there was a geisha girl head. Pretty cool. Does the image tell you anything in particular about the cup?

 

This is called Dragonware and has been made for a long time.
Moriage is correct for this as it is clay slip and not enamel.

Lavender is an unusual color. The Geisha lithophane is one of the more common ones.
Here's one persons description of dragonware.
