<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 3059594, member: 7360&quot;]I think you have got it exactly, a rather showy but probably cheap cup from Germany, circa 1900.&nbsp; A surprising amount of workmanship for a cheap gift item, but there are a lot of handpainted flowery items in the same category - seaside giftshop type.&nbsp; The ceramic industry used to employ so many thousands of people, I expect it was one way for people to use their art skills to make a (meagre) living, but at least their products live on.&nbsp; Thank you, blooey![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
