<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4503995, member: 7360"]Thank you for this, that pair were obviously produced by the same manufacturer at about the same time. I'm not sure if the size is the same, but they are obviously cups, not canisters. I will see the ones in the auction viewing day but unless they have an airtight inner lid they should be called cups too. That's a bit of a shame, because airtight ones could be used for herbs, etc as well as tea, and would make useful and pretty kitchen items and gifts. I wasn't expecting them to be hand painted masterpieces of craftsmanship, and they probably have a combination of printing with added hand painted details, but I stll think they look very pretty, well made, and maybe collectible one day. Since the whole dozen are currently standing at a bid of £10, there is some hope I might get them at a bargain price![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
