Japanese Kutani porcelain teaset Signed circa early 20th century

This set is stunning quality with all the pieces being entirely hand painted in gold gilt and red predominantly. The detail is stunning and each piece is decorated with butterflies and the finials are gold gilt butterflies. Such is the detail that each piece would have taken many hours to produce and the small detail would have had to have been done under magnification. Please zoom in using the tool to see the detail on each piece. The pieces are signed in red script and each piece also having a hand painted mark - not transfer.

Date wise looks early 20th century, but could be earlier and really need an expert Japanese ceramic expert to date. 12 cm diameter saucer /6 cm diameter cups. Teapot 15 cm handle to spout and 15 cm tall. One jug 12 cm tall. One sugar/tea bowl 13 cm tall.
