<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 873649, member: 121"]Unpacking MORE of Great Aunt Gert’s treasures, I have come across a pile of demi-tasse cups and saucers (and a few souvenir mini-cups, and 1 chocolate cup – so far). I am rather peeved because when we sold off Gert’s tableware most of the sets of cups and saucers had only 5, 7 or 11 cups and saucers………………now I know why……………….and I am steamed, but I have to rid myself of what she obviously considered a “collection” so I will be identifying these. There are a number of cups sans saucers, and saucers without cups as well, but later for that mess. And wait until I get to the spoons for these………………….</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Disclaimer: This is not a request for identifications</b> – more a request on how to proceed. Most of these pieces are marked, so I am sure I will be able to identify those. When I do ask for assistance, is it better to open a thread on each cup/saucer, or to start one long, convoluted thread? I may also ask to have marks “verified”, meaning confirmation on what I perceive to be the marks as to what they actually are!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]198571[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]198572[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]198573[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As usual, Thanks for any assistance.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
