[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 366626, member: 25"]I found out yesterday why my cups were so much cheaper than expected. They were listed as tea cups but turned out to be turkish coffee cups. Quite tiny, the saucers are only 3 inches across and the cup about 2 inches. I am not sorry I bought them, despite the tiny size I am still ahead on the silver value and they are really well made and in good condition, and are now on display at home as they passed the partner approval test although she said "You should have seen your face when you saw how small they are" The trip to collect them was enhanced with a visit to a 15th C church with many 16th C. figural tombs and a decent lunch, all on a sunny day so it was a trip not a chore. If they had been listed as coffee cups I would have missed them as my search was for tea cups, so not a bad thing really.[/QUOTE]
