Cup and Saucer age/country please?

I recently bought the most gorgeous cup and saucer but have no idea where it came from or how old it is so I wondered if you guys could help please.

It's gently embossed at the top. The flowers inside the cup are beautifully executed and can be felt so I believe they are hand painted and, as you can see, the handle is exquisite.

The saucer is reasonably but not hugely deep and there is no indent to it.

On the back there is merely the number 3 above the number 265, in small, neat gold numerals.

Has anyone any ideas please? Thank you.

 

I found others with this shape identified as Coalport. I did a google image search with your last photo.

 

Thank you very much Janet. I'll have a search of Coalport straight after dinner!

 

We're hours away from dinner. Here are a couple of listings. http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_from...=2&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684
I found another one that said it's in the 10th pattern book, whatever that means.

 

Thank you so very much. I've just found the one which mentions the 10th pattern book myself.

 

I can't help with the meaning of 10th pattern book. Just wanted to say how beautiful these are!
