Comments (1)$5 to perhaps $5,000.. If you were to show the marks on the backs of the pieces and give some history and a better picture of the design we might identify if well enough that you can search for sets that are similar and get an idea of current selling prices....See MoreJapanese tea set

Comments (11)I have a bit of Japanese china as I used to like to pick up various pieces at flea markets. Your set is not a particularly "fine" piece objectively - meaning no disrespect as the design is not particularly intricate and doesn't appear to have been done by a skilled artisan but executed as quickly as possible in order to sell cheaply for export. There are some lovely examples of hand painted Japanese china that were intended for export and not as super high end but this isn't one of them. The paint job is relatively crude and doesn't have any fine details. If this is a small size it was intended as a toy for a little girl and probably sold at the equivalent of a Woolworths for not very much money. Since you indicate that it is damaged there is even less value to it so any value is for you as a sentimental object - either someone you loved owned it or it was given to you as a child. I have some childhood tchotchkes that make me feel good when I look at them and I also kept a few tchochkes that belonged to my grandmother and mother because I remember how they looked in their homes. My grandmother and mother were more into the "Meissen" style of European tchotchkes rather than the Japanese but in terms of economic value it is the same. My mother also had some Rose Medallion style stuff and one can trace the age and "value" based on how the paint work declined as the stuff became more mass produced. However even the relatively high quality Rose Medallion isn't worth too much at this point because it simply isn't what people want or are looking for....See Morelindac92
