Asian Tea Set (Chinese/Taiwanese) with 'Rabbit' Pottery Mark Stamp

Asian Tea Set (Chinese/Taiwanese) with 'Rabbit' Pottery Mark Stamp:- This Asian Tea Set appears to be Chinese or Taiwanese to me. It has a distinct 'Rabbit' Stamp made in a Red Color on the external bases. The internal bottom of every tea cup has an embossed figurine of a Chinese Girl in Traditional Headdress. Every piece has an embossed Prawn on the face side which is visually overwhelming and beautiful to the eye.


It is a High Quality Porcelain Ceramic.

It purchased in Timor Indonesia 2011.

I would like to know its:
Background Info
Origin
Age
Rarety
Approximate Value
& If anyone has anything similar?

Any information will be helpful...

Thank you for this wonderful service!

Also got this mark!
by: Gilly S

I just bought a beautiful embossed Chinese dragon tea set (5 of each piece - cup, saucer, cake plate - plus the teapot, sugar bowl and milk jug) because I fell in love with it at first sight.

It also has this red bunny mark on the bottom of each piece, so I'm curious as to its origins. I don't believe the set is worth any thing (except to me, I love it!) but I'd like to know where it was made.
Rabbit marking
by: JD

I too have a porcelain tea set and coffee set with this rabbit marking and the lady on the base of the cups. It's decorated with dragons and edged with black.

I inherited it from my gran. It's a bit battered, but well loved and still used on high days and holidays. If anyone has any further info on this tea/coffee set, I'd be really interested.
I bought this set from Singapore in 1964 BEST ANSWER

I bought a full coffee set with these markings in Singapore around 1964/65. Cannot remember how much I paid for it but given my lowly salary at the time it would not have been that much. During that time there were few Japanese (the war was still very much a memory) but many Chinese traders so Chinese is my guess at the origin.

Chinese, Japanese, Tiawanese?
by: Sharyn

I too have a set like this and we lived in Singapore in the mid 1960's. Despite looking, I still haven't been able to find anything definitive regarding a maker. However ours has Chh China on the plates with the rabbit on the outside and the japanese lady head, inside the cups. White with gold farm type scenes. I believe hand painted as none are the same.

Why Chinese?
by: Marie

I have a dragonware set with the rabbit stamp on the bottom. There is a lithopane geisha on the bottom of each cup. The set looks vey much like all of the other Japanese dragonware pieces I have. These are geishas, I believe, not Chinese women. No one seems to know what the rabbit stamp represents but rabbits in Japan are special. They mix the elixir of longevity on the moon. So... drink up everyone!
I have this tea set!
by: Mike JB

I have this tea set as well! It is light green "dragon" style with the geishas on the base. It was purchased by my parents around 1964/65 in Singapore.

I too cannot seem to find any information regarding the maker so if anyone has any information please do let us all know!
