    I know this cup & saucer is not old but I thought the design was interesting & both pieces were in excellent condition so for 79 cents how could you go wrong?:p:happy:

    According to the bottoms, the design was "inspired from the Pugin wallpaper in the Chess Room of the House of Commons".

    I found this listing on WP & was hoping @Kronos would help me out with the when & sold price. :happy::happy::kiss:

    I think I figured out the marks on the bottoms but please correct me if I am wrong. The "Portcullis" mark is used to signify the House of Commons. So I am assuming these pieces were made to be sold possibly in their gift shops. :)

    There is a house of lords shop as well, but the staff are asleep half the time and clock off 5 minutes into a shift.
