Ah, the WMF copper item would be mine if I saw it first!
I think it is 20th c. You may want to peruse Chinese marks at gotheborg.com to see if yours is there. The Chinese often marked their wares with...
I saw all those ads for silver deposit in your link. I, like verybrad, am convinced. Had heard of Alvin, Gorham and Whiting, but not the others...
I see a C A in the mark. Looks like a continental mark (German?).
LOL, I lean towards Wolfson! No particular reason except that the gilding wear is problematic to me.

The surface looks rather fragile. I don't know if it's 100 years old or 2000, but I'd want to find out before I cleaned it. If you have to do...
The FB Aynsley group may have more info, but Aynsley made tons of tea cup and saucer sets -- some in sets, some singles. I'd peg this one in the...
Dunno, but gotheborg.com might be worth a look under (modern) Japanese marks. Google lens showed the sticker on an eBay listing but that was it....
I remain to be convinced that this is Ming.
I would like to see a video, too!
Handling fees. Pfft.
