Striking Japanese blue moriage porcelain tea cup and saucer featuring a dramatic raised dragon motif with a hidden lithophane geisha girl revealed when the cup is held to light.
This traditional lithophane technique—where a translucent image appears through the porcelain—was a hallmark of fine Japanese export wares from the late 19th to early 20th century. The deep cobalt blue moriage (raised enamel decoration) adds rich texture and visual depth, making this set both decorative and collectible.
A beautiful example of Japanese craftsmanship, highly sought after by collectors of Asian antiques, lithophane porcelain, and dragon-themed ceramics.
