Vintage Japanese Lithophane Geisha porcelain coffee set Blue Dragon, 1950s

About the Item

A magnificent Blue Dragon coffee set: 10 beautiful antique cups and saucers, a coffee pot, a sugar bowl with a lid, and a cream jug. These beautiful lithophane cups were first created in the late 1800s. The cups are thin, and the picture placed on the bottom of the cup is made using porcelain of various thicknesses. Most of these porcelain cups are made in the Kutani region of Japan. If you hold it up to the light, you can see the lithophane of a geisha girl at the base of the cups. Lithophane (or lithopane or in French: lithophanie) is an etched or molded work of art on thin translucent porcelain that can only be clearly seen when illuminated from behind by a light source. Good vintage condition.
