<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 2845414, member: 7360&quot;]I have had these two egg cups for a while, assuming they were Chinese export but never being able to find anything which looks quite like them. They are both hand painted.&nbsp; One is quite tall and slim, in typical butterflies and flower sprig style, and looks like it could be circa 1800, or later, I can be optimistic!&nbsp; The other, shorter one is marked and reminds me of occupied Japan tea sets, so I think possiby mid-20th century.&nbsp; It has a monogram painted in blue.&nbsp; I know people used to order personalised items from China in Georgian times, but this one makes me think of perhaps a little porcelain shop (in Japan?) where the proprietor might add a personal touch on a gift, for a visiting customer.</p><p>What do you folks think?&nbsp; I would love to know for sure when and where they were made.&nbsp; My photos seem to have uploaded in reverse order, with the monogrammed egg cup first![ATTACH=full]282406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282403[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282399[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]282402[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
