Charming set

Good call, @i need help

 

Wow! never heard of that! I had many Asian items in the storage I bought.Thanks,great information.

 

Not a tea set.
Chocolate set.

 

Did you check the bottom of the cups for lithopanes?

 

I was afraid to ask, wondering if the numbers might show through.

 

I'm with cluttered, it is a nice chocolate set. Looks like 1930s Kutani ware.

 

I see I spelled Lithophane incorrectly.

Can you determine which geisha she is?

Hey, @clutteredcloset49

I posted an example of a lithophane, bc I wasn't sure if @antiquelover69 knew what you meant.

 

Hey @scoutshouse
Guess I didn't realize you weren't the OP.
That's what happens when you only have a couple of hours of sleep and not enough coffee.

 

If the set is for chocolate, maybe no lithophane?

 

Holy crap! I never knew about lithophanes! Thinking back on all the dragonware I didn’t inspect closer is going to haunt me! Better late than never they say.
