<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3094689, member: 8363"]I don't know about such things. My common sense tells me that painting motifs that go under the base of the cup might indicate a decorator item rather than a useful piece of china. That raised paint would have been damaged or chipped with use especially over a span of 109 years. The motifs on the cup looks like a transfer that has been over painted with some gold enamel paint. You can tell because they bend over the square edges. I say these things to help you look critically at your purchases, something I've learned from the members here. [USER=27]@johnnycb09[/USER] knows his stuff, so you should consider his comments carefully.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
