Help identifying a cup Posted by Oli Matthies on January 7, 2025, 3:22 pm Hello, It was suggested to me by someone in ceramics that a cup I have acquired may be transferware. I have no other information other than the time period being 1885-1895 and a number 2 on the bottom. Any information on where to look next would be greatly appreciated! Oli M.

We'll see if we can come up with any more information, although at first glance, I don't see this particular pattern in our Database. It looks like it could be from Aesop's Fables, we'll see if we can find out more.
