<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4363834, member: 7360"]Very beautiful and well-preserved pair! I've had a look in Michael Berthoud's Compendium of Cups (my go-to book for old teaware), and he describes this type of high angular handle as "Old English", and dates it to 1825 - 1830, so soon to be 200 years old, and actually late Georgian. Most cups like this would be porcelain, not ironstone, although those Imari type patterns were used on ironstone. Yates and Grainger were two of the makers who made this handle, although there were a number of factories. Certainly "high-end", and I love it! Please report back if you identify the maker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
