Imitations of antique lithopane
by: Snap

Do internet search for 'lithopane', a technique popular in Japanese wares made for the West of about 100-130 years ago. The molded-in image of the antique items was subtle and could only be seen by looking at light through bottom of piece. The re-makes are quite obviously and somewhat crudely made so you can feel the raised image.
porcelain

This is Japanese or a reproduction of Japanese porcelain. The colors resemble somewhat Kutani porcelain, I believe.
