Does anyone know what porcelain this is? It has no markers and is hand painted.

Many thanks

Hallo Jos,

What you have is Japanese Kutani dragonware with a lithophane of a geisha head in the bottom of the cups. Made for Europe and the US in great quantities and often poor qualities in 1930-1960.

See more about this in the following links:
