Chocolate Pot Set Marked Japan

Chocolate Pot Set in full
I am not sure if this really is a chocolate pot and or what it is made of. It would be interesting to find out something about this as it seems to be an odd little set.
The Chocolate pot is just under 10 inches tall (inc. lid) and the cups are 3 inches tall.
The pot is faded more than the cups and all the pieces seem crudely made to me. There are 6 cups and 6 saucers.
The cups are unmarked on the bottoms, the saucers are marked with the word Japan and the pot is marked Japan on the bottom also.
It is a floral design and has a line drawing of a bird on one side of each cup and the floral design on the other side of each cup.
This was purchased at least 10 years ago at an antique shop in Vermont. I have no recollection of the amount I paid for it, but it was not much.
I wonder if it has any value as it almost seems to be something made for a child as a quickly manufactured, inexpensive play set or a cheap tourist item.
