I haven't found anything related on this set, only that they are Chinese. Does anybody know the value, history (age), or anything that looks alike? Hope you can help, blessings.

If you run your finger over the top/sides, is it rough and uneven? I am thinking these are cloisonné, but it is hard to tell from the photos.
While this art form is ancient, I am thinking your pieces are modern reproductions based on the other things you have posted...but as I said in one of my other comments, identifying pieces like this are challenging at best.
These look like pieces I used to sell in the 1970s-1980s when they were new and a hot commodity. They were quite popular back then, although the colors that people favored were much brighter and cheerful. The colors on these are dull, which could make them older--again, almost impossible to tell from photos if the colors are truly dull or if the photos are just a tad dark.
Are they heavy or light weight? They all appear to be porcelain--would that be accurate?
Are the tops hinged? What do the hinges and screws look like if they are.
Let us know if you are able to learn more from the Facebook group. Thanks for sharing!
The artist name is Nakamura Shigeto and the style of the set is called Kutani. Read some of his bio and is a well respected artist from Japan.
That is wonderful that you found out more info! May I ask how you located the information? I am always looking for good resources, even though I shy away from this genre of items to sell. If I had good info, I may reconsider if there is that kind of value in pieces!
That is wonderful to know. I just checked it out and bookmark it! Blessings!
Porcelain marks remain one of the best means we have to identify the pieces. Correctly understood it is like a timestamp and sometimes like a fingerprint of the potter. So let's read the mark of your pieces.
do you know about history of these cups and value. Someone wrote here that didnt find this mark before. Thank you
Sorry, I forgot to click the Follow button and didn't receive a notification about your new comment.
Please post photos with an another mark in a new question and add a better quality photo with the mark.
Your best bet is to try to find someone who can translate the marking on the bottom.
I dont think the pieces are antiques or valuable.
2 hand painted plates were sold for 600 dollars by the same artist so.
I'm so glad you decided to use Reddit as that site is amazing for finding information on almost everything.
Did you try asking for value on their 'WhatitWorth?' link?
