It would not matter either way if it is 40-50-or 1 year old. It has a value less than $6.00. Right now I find that people are just turned off by items that say Made in China.

[color=#000080][/color]Hi there, by the sounds of it my picture of my small set didn’t work ? so what I did so you could see it better was made it my Avatar Picture. You can see in the picture the cups have handles. On the bottom of them all, in varying pressure, a stamp with no colour with the only words “MADE IN CHINA” on them.
I can’t find any other markings. I’m having trouble with the sizing of pictures otherwise I would of added another.
What would my 3 piece set be worth?
Thank you!

if the cups do not have handles then it could be for an adult(saki cups) otherwise I still think its for a child. Does it say made in China or Japan?

Hi, sorry I forgot the size`s, the Tea Pot is 6 inches tip of spout to handle wide, 4 inches Tall. The Cups are 2.25 inches in height and 2.5 inches rim circumference.
Thank You.

Hi, You don’t say how little is little. It could be part of a childs tea set. They came with little saucers, sugar and creamer and sometimes a little larger plate for the cookies. The older ones were pearly peach, or green with flowers on them.
