My mum remembers her having said something about the set having been her mother's, who died when my great aunt was 4 in 1911.

There's Chinese writing on the bases of the cups. I'd greatly appreciate any further info about these cups. Am I right in thinking they're Chinese art deco?</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 1577][/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1578]The complete set (that remains)[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1579]One of the cups [/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1580]One of the cup bases [/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 1581][/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
