(Caveat -- I know next to nothing about antiques of any kind, let alone china, so all comments are semi-educated guesses.)
Considering the cups have handles and saucers, I'd guess this is a pretty modern set, comparatively speaking. I've never seen an antique Chinese or Japanese set with handles -- those were usually made for tourists after WW II. The color reminds me some Chinese tea sets I've seen, but the design looks more Japanese.
You might want to bring the teapot to the Asian-American Club and see if someone there can help you determine at least the country of manufacture and possibly even the manufacturer.
Good luck. It really is a pretty set.
