Antique Chinese teacup, lid and saucer

Description

Beautiful set that seems to be hand painted.  Very intricate work and very delicate. Cup and lid handles have gold paint on them.  Cup has 2 handles.  There are no markings on any piece except for Made in China.  I'm guessing this is from way before so much junk was made in China!

Your cup is not really an antique, piece marked "Made in China" tend to be fairly modern reproductions, most postdate the 1970's.
