Antique Questions Forum / Chinese cup and saucer?
« on: December 18, 2012, 02:03:51 PM »
Hi again.
Since I got such a quick answer for my last question I hope you don't mind me asking about this cup and saucer I have owned for a little while now.I have trawled the net for something that looks like it but not found anything simular.I didn't think it was very old but a few people have said its very fine china and it could be old .So any information realy would be appreciated.
I will post 4 pics of them and then 2 more with the writing on the bottom incase that is of help which i presume it would.I asked people on my facebook if they could tell me what it said as i know a few people from all over the world but alas no one commented on the writing pics.
I hope you do not mind me asking a question so quickly after last question, but I was so happy with how fast answer I got on the last question I thought I would ask
Thanks again
Mike

Thankyou for that information I shall look at that and now I understand it will be electroplated and as you say could be part of a set, I will look into that and maybe I may be able to get more bits to go with it and also know its not very old either but vintage more than antique.
Thankyou ever so much for such fast help brilliant is all I can say
I have a cup and saucer that don't quite match that I think is chinese but might not be.I will have to take some pics and see if anyone can shed light on that, as I realy like it and it goes in my display cabinet along with my silver bowl etc as I like to see things I buy .
Thankyou again
Mike

I must say thankyou to everyone that is helping me with this it is greatly appreciated indeed .As I have alot to learn when it comes to antiques .I Tend to buy because I like the look of something and then like to try to find out more about what I buy which in this case I came to a full stop with the marks and what it was etc , so any help is really greatly appreciated indeed .
Thanks again

The base is 3 and half " across the bottom
It is 3 and 3/4 " high

Right I decided to use flash and in dark, seems to have focused better.
Hopefully this pic is enough in focus now.

Ok that sounds interesting .
I took the picture in kitchen only a short while ago.I will try and take some pics in natural light tomorrow and see if I can get less blurry pics as taking pics with camera on phone which should be good enough but it can't seem to focus too well.I will see what I can do about that or maybe borrow my mums camera and try that .
Thanks

I have a what I think is silver but not sure as can't work out anything on the hall marks on the bottom as can't find them anywhere?!
Its a silver bowl that has lion head handles.I beleive it is a glass cooler but might be wrong as it is not particularily big.
Can I post pictures on here of the hall marks? so people can have a look and maybe help me figure out more about the bowl?
Thanks
Mike
