What would you call this stuff? Okay - no smart-a** comments, now.
It was aquired together, but I don't think it is a "set." But, that's how I want to sell it -- all together.
It's got the Takito Double-T mark on the bottom of one dish -- but the pattern is the same on each piece.
It has a raised, enamel-like painting and is porcelain. I know they're not valuable, but they're taking up space and I want rid of them... 
What would you call these? Could it be a set?
The plate is 6" in diameter and the saucer is 5.5" in diameter. The round, lidded box is 2.5" wide and stands 1.5" tall.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Wayne

Thanks for your thoughts on that. But, as you know - the uglier it is, the more prized it might become!
If that's the case - I think this thing has legs.
Thanks for your "ugly" vote. It means a lot.

Check out www.gotheborg.com They have an extensive list of marks. 1960's I'd say. Hastily painted.
Sorry I haven't been around. I'm working on my e-store and it's taking up all my time. Maybe one day I'll be finished with it.

these are known as geisha girl set as someone points out.
popular design from 1940s??,handpainted and rather crude.
i dont know how big the one with lid is,but they made a container with lid which is used for storing hair,after you brush your hair ,you remove the hair from the brush and keep it in the container.

People do collect Geisha Girl china. I have a cousin who does. Stopwhining, I have a couple of "hair receivers" from my husband's grandmother and they (and the others I have seen) have a hole in top so you can put the hair in without removing the lid. I have seen covered dishes in a lot of Japanese made china patterns.
The fact that the painting is crude might appeal to some collectors.

Stopwhining, I have hair jewelry and my feeling is that you would need to cut the hair in even links to make it smooth enough for weaving. Also hair receivers were used well into the 20th century in dresser sets and that was after the era for hair mourning jewelry. I think they might just have been a handy place to collect the hair you cleaned from your brush so it didn't have to be disposed of each night. I did read somewhere that women could use the hair they collected to make "rats" that were used to pad out some hair styles but I am not sure how true that is.

Photosensitive: I'm sure you're right about the "rats." I've been told more than once by older ladies (years ago) that they'd collect the hair and use it to pad out their hairstyles. Think about it--it figures that the color would be perfectly identical, which has always been the main concern for women when they needed extra fullness.

Thank you very much for all your help. Here I had it pretty much nailed with an obvious title like: Geisha Girl Porcelain Set....
You guys are great!
