<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 130113, member: 308"]Hi Jess and welcome! I can't give you a firm ID but I'll offer an opinion. The color scheme on the rims (red and green) is a frequent edge treatment on Japanese china items. The cup is an interesting shape and not one I've come across often. The berry decoration is a bit unusual too. It wouldn't surprise me if it was originally part of a tea set. It would help to see a bottom picture of the cup and saucer. Although it may be unmarked, there are several clues that the bottom can provide. If I had to put a date on it, my guess would be depression era. It does not have a great deal of value so enjoy it. It's true value is in the memories it brings to you. All this is JMHO and others may correct me.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
