Featured Asian-style porcelain teacup and bowl saucer - where did I come from?

@Ownedbybear asked for better pix, so here we go. This cost me a whole US$3 so it came home as a research project. The only marks on the base are a hemisphere with a dot on the bowl and what looks like an exclamation mark on the cup. I'd bet the figures are some sort of transfers but the color appears hand done. The paint looks like old famille rose pieces, but that could have been a British firm out to fool us. The lady has a rue-i scepter, so I'd think Chinese but..? Bright ideas and dumb jokes appreciated.

 

Looks like New Hall porcelain. The boy and the butterfly pattern c1800

 

That's it! I found an image with the same arc and dot mark and the decoration sure is the same. I've heard of New Hall but never seen a piece before.

With cracks I reckon maybe £30 for the duo.

 

That's still over 10x more than I paid, and at 200+ years old I'll have a few cracks too.

 

Told you so! It’s typical New Hall.

 

Typical in the UK maybe. I've never, as far as I know, even seen a piece before. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for Georgian stemware, any at all. It doesn't turn up here much.

 

I have a New Hall plate that has a really vibrant orange rim. I don't think I paid much for it as it is cracked, but I loved that crazy orange. The interior is a Chinese scene. As you say, not a lot of early English china shows up this side of the pond. Plenty, though, from mid 19th c on as trade grew with the burgeoning North American markets.

 

We didn't make our own porcelain until after the Civil war,or much ironstone either. From what I remember anyway.
