Description

This is only one of several teacups and saucers that I've been blessed to receive from my grandmother. Each set is different than the other. Most are numbered and most are made in England. I know that I am English in heritage several generations ago. This one is printed with the year 1789 and is the reason I chose it for this appraisal. Also this one has been hand numbered and trimmed in gold.
