    I know someone will want this teacup set, but I don't know how to categorize it or even accurately describe it.
    It is very thin porcelain. My grandmother's so definitely before 1950. Do I call it Blue White Japanese porcelain with gold trim? Mt Fuji?
    Cup is 5" across and 2" tall; saucer 5 1/2".
    Any advice?
    This forum has been so helpful to me.

      On Ebay we used to call these MIJ, for the many pieces of ceramic that were exported from Japan 1920s-30s. We know some of the marks from several companies, Carole Bess White did a series of reference books about Made in Japan items, in early 2000. Your plate is a fine design porcelain.
      I still own this one,
