DRAGONWARE Kutani tea Creamer and covered sugar bowl Moriage
I find no dings, chips or repairs. Small loss to moriage maybe around the rim of the creamer. The spot on the front of the sugar bowl is actually smooth and appears to be paint from the artist's brush. Gold trim appears in nice shape on handles and lid. A little light black from the paint on the upper rim of the creamer.. Fully marked on the bottom.
Creamer measures about 4.5 X 3.5"
Sugar measures about 5.5 handle to handle and 4.75 tall
google search revealed this about Kutani moriage:
The word Kutani means Nine Valleys and is the name of an area and a village. The two characters that make up the word Kutani consist of the character for "nine", ku and "valley". Since Kutani is a place, almost all pieces marked Kutani were decorated there even if by any of the many manufacturers or trading shops, rather than just a single factory. Porcelain decorators familiar with the Kutani style could also move around so as an example we can sometimes find pieces marked Yokohama & Kobe with decoration in typical Kutani style. Many Kutani made pieces might also have just the artist's as a mark, and no location at all, leading us to also needing to look at style as a clue to the origin of a piece.
