    Hi all,picked these gorgeous things up today as well.They are 3 inches high and wide,and I stand a better chance of flying to the moon than figuring out the marks! Any and all input is appreciated.

    The cups seem to be double walled. I think this is called 'Dehua porcelain' and seems to be new. But pretty is as pretty does,and they are pretty!

    More like tea cups, size-wise.

    The mark is upside down, but my guess is Chinese.

    The mark is 御龍窯 Yu Long Yao "Imperial Dragon Kiln," not that you should take it literally.

    There's no connection with traditional Dehua ware there, though in the past decade or two Dehua has been producing a bright cherry red like this, as have kilns elsewhere in China.

    There is a Yu Long company in Dehua producing this type of ware.

    Sorry, though I have no problems with it.

    Anyway, nothing there but a text description of the company and its products in Chinese, no pictures.
