3D Dragonware Occupied Japan Teacup Saucer StandMoriage Demitasse Hand Painted

3DMoriage Dragonware Occupied Japan Teacup Saucer StandMoriage Demitasse Hand Painted. Bone or eggshell china is translucent. I believe the decorative stand is brass? The 3D dragon seems to be alive! Stunning piece. To my eye I cannot perceive any defects or flaws. Makers mark on back of cup and saucer depict a thistle plant. It is highly debated whether the thistle was a makers mark for Lefton. Japan was occupied from 1945 thru 1952.
