Any idea who created this teacup and saucer?

I have a beautiful teacup and saucer that looks to be English in manufacture, but unlike all the other bone china i have this one has no manufacturer or mark of any kind. Can anyone point me to a reference for finding out this information? Thanks.

The threads are all gold even though they look like dirt. It's actually a pretty amazing piece to my way of thinking.

I would try the Replacements, Ltd. identification service. It's free.

That type of saucer is "reticulated"-- google image search.. Looks post-war Japanese to me, probably not made as a complete dinner service.

1950's or early 1960's, almost certainly Japanese. Mom was married in 1958 and was thrown a teacup shower, she has many of these marked Japan.
