It's been years but I seem to remember that this particular raised (gray and white) design had a specific name. I can't remember what it's called...can you? I seem to recall that it did pretty well on eBay...does it still? The item I have is an incense burner. Thanks...

No, it's not imari or satsuma. I'm pretty sure moriage is the process that results in small raised dots of paint so it's not that either. As best as I can recall from a post years ago, this gray and white design had a specific name. I remember being surprised as I'd seen similar items for sale in more "touristy"-type places in China Town in Chicago. Thanks for the help though...maybe someone can identify the name for me.

It's Dragonware but Dragonware comes in lots of different colors. I'm not sure what you call it in just this color. Do a search on Dragonware and you see Moriage used in the title with it in many cases.
Hwahwa will come along in a bit and let you know.

yes,old dragonware has a dull finish,no gold and made in Japan back in the old days for export sales.
You can find a complete set of tea service on ETSY.
The new ones you see in Chinatown are made in CHINA,they are making satsuma and imari porcelain,very elaborate but not Japanese made .
Collectors dont want Japanese goods made in China but the labor cost is so high,more and more of their goods are made in China,before China they make them in HK,Macau,Taiwan and Philipines,in small quantity for the domestic markets,now they are moving into China for the elaborate lacquer ware with MOP inlaid scenes,fake antique samurai swords,tsuba,inroe,netsukes,tetsubin etc.
Few can afford authentic Japanese gifts,a wooden lacquered box with decorative scenes would cost 400 dollars wholesale,how many of us can afford to resell them?

That's it...dragonware! Thanks all...With the dragon design, you'd think the connection would have caused a brain cell or two to fire...sigh! I'll search further as you all suggested...Appreciate the help!
