Trying to identify this tea cup

Hi new here and looking for any help regarding this item.

I am trying to determine the identification of this item, as you can see from the photos there is no visible markings (I think).

I am trying to find or determine the costs of a saucer to match this item. I have tried China Search, who I have used in the past, but they feel it is pre 1960's, at least.

I can t upload any more photos, but there are no markings on the bottom of the cup.

 

Here's a bigger picture, Walt, so others can see it better:

 

19th C, probably English, can we see the base please?

 

Not very good with these computer things. The file keeps getting thrown out, says to big....I will keep trying.

 

I think I ve cracked it.

 

Hi did you get any better idea from seeing the base? Walt.

 

I'd say certainly English. Problem is, that pink was used by a fair few good factories. It might possibly be Coalport, I think they did those circle handles.

 

Thanks I ll start looking, if you come up with any other names, please let me know. Kind regards Walt.

 

This may or may not be helpful but this site goes into makers based on shapes and handles. I think these are older and I'm sure it doesn't include every maker but might be a place to start. I don't actually see the little pointy bit on any of these handles.

Thank you, something to work with. Walt.

 

Evening all....

Anymore ideas on this one, struggling a little!!

Thanks Walt

 

Well, I totally agree, mid-19th c. cup with ring handle. Nice bit of painting, but it might be quite a search to find a matching saucer even if the maker is identified. That celeste bleu enamel is seen frequently on Minton as well as Coalport, but I can't say for sure what factory made this.

 

Thank you I ll try again. Walt.

 

Just as a practical matter, it appears that this cup has a crack so even if you find a matching saucer the value may be diminished.

Now if it's a sentimental piece that's a different matter. I've looked off and on for a saucer to match a little cup I used for tea parties when I was a child. I don't think I'll find even a close match. I think my ex had a roommate that used my saucers as ashtrays and I think it was tossed or lost a long time ago

 

Hi Thanks for your post. Its possibly a little bit of positive PR, we have done a job for a forgetful pensioner, who is adamant that we took away a saucer with the cup, we have no record of it and photos taken don't show a saucer before we emptied the property.

If it s not going to happen, I may need to take a different approach.

 

There's an excellent Facebook group called British Pottery and Porcelain for sale. Stick a want ad on it.

 

Thanks.
