Subject:Unusual Japanese saucer depicting westeners.

It is the first time I saw a japanese saucer with western theme. Any idea of its age/maker? Thank you.

The decoration harks back to the so-called "Black Ship" Japanese Imari export porcelain, some of which dates around the middle of the 18th century but most appears to be 19th century. Your set looks to be 20th century or modern. Of the male figures one looks English, one looks French, but none look to be Dutch. The female looks like an American Western bar room floozy. The ship, with its stack coupled with what appear to be sails is not a Dutch sailing ship.

Thank you very much for your expert opinion. Seems it has little collecting value, it will however serve it's direct purpose as a coffee cup. Best Regards. Spartakos
