This is a set of 5 sake cups. I say sake cups because I am not sure what else they could be. They are only 1 1/2 " tall so they are most likely for alcohol, not tea. I have no idea how old they are or if they are Chinese or Japanese. They are very light so I believe that they are most likely porcelain. They are a pretty burnt orange in color and the designs are made with gold colored paint. The designs look like clouds and a flying hat to me but I could be wrong. The inside of each cup is white. Instead of flat bottoms each cup has an arc shaped design that ends up making 3 feet/stands for the cups to stand on. You should be able to see this effect in the photographs. The only identifying mark is on the bottom of each cup. I have included a photograph of it. It may be a symbol or it may be Chinese or Japanese lettering. Any help is appreciated.
What I have here is from my Great grandmother, it is a SOLID sterling silver platter. from my research it's either a Graff, Washbourne & Dunn or Wood & Hughes.
I'd love to know more about it like the style name, production year etc, and what it's value is.
It is 15 inches from side to side and about 46 1/4 to 1/2 inches in it's diameter
Respectfully yours,
Clara
ps I had to remove the assay marks I had posted they did not belong to this platter other than what is shown below it is clearly marked "Sterling'
Cornwell grandfather's clock, made in 1977, made in Chicago, clock works made in Germany, I don't know how much it cost at that time, but I would like to know if someone knows its worth now.
