Any ideas

Hello everyone

I’ve recently came to have these and was just wondering if they are worth anything?

 

They have value
They are vintage Japanese eggshell porcelain tea cups:

Check EBay SOLD items to see real value

 

Thank you! I will try and have a look into that. I’m just driving myself insane trying to figure out what the markings mean

 

Do not go insane !!!
Not yet anyways............

@Asian Fever .....any thoughts ?

 

They look Japanese kutani

Might find the marks here

How thin are they?
The older ones are very light and delicate. You might check the bottom of one of the cups for a lithophane. Hold it up to the light and see if there is a picture in the bottom.

Welcome to the board.

 

They are Kutani. Not very valuable but as suggested earlier you should get an idea searching sold items on eBay

 

They are very thin! Oh thanks for the tip I’ll go have a look

 

Since you say they are very thin, I would put them before WWII. Maybe 1920s/30s.
The pattern is often referred to as Geisha Girl.
Did you find a lithophane?

 

Hello! Sorry I was a busy bee today. No I didn’t find on any of them

 

I have also found these if anyone has any ideas, they all have different variations of the same markings on the bottom and all cups have the number 8516 on them. Sorry for all the questions by the way and thanks for all the help so far

 

The Radford's crown Bone China mark seems to date 1938-55.
