    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    really knowledgeable about them at all, but it's nice with no chips or cracks! I'm looking to find out from the others "in the know" about them if it is modern, antique, vintage or whatever, and the best place for me to check a value if it does have any! ALL suggestions and responses gratefully received, and thank you all SO MUCH!!!!
    Tea cup height 1-1/2", with diameter of 2-3/4"; The saucer diameter is 3-3/4", and they both seem to 'match with the same theme.......NOTHING on the back of the saucer, waiting for THAT image, at the moment........and thank you for looking!!! IF/when it comes from phone to computer will get it posted..........

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    Any time "Satsuma" is spelled out in English is also a warning sign. The only exception is Royal Satsuma Nippon which is an authentic mark used on porcelain, ca. 1890 to 1922.

    I can not confirm this...... so FYI !
