The last name is Young. Someone put their name on it because it belonged to them or maybe wanted it to be returned to them if say, it was being...
It does look like a promotional item. Maybe for a conference or as a souvenir.
By the '70s the popularity of fussy floral tea cups was pretty much done. Although, I like the name "Royal Kent" as Kent is my surname! I have...
I think a bit large for a fairing and the quality is better than fairings.
I know that Sunderland (it's a place, right?) made lots of pink lustreware but did they also make copper? I, have seen this shape, too, and I...

Separate names with a comma.
