Children’s/doll Transferware cup and saucer Posted by Sheridan Holmes on January 15, 2026, 1:26 pm Hello, Len, you were kind enough to look at my previous post about a tiny teaset which you thought was likely 20th century. Well I now have another single cup and saucer, very similar though the saucer is approx 5cm in diameter so half a cm bigger. It has a charmingly wonky saucer and similar (to the other) very clumsy handle. The previous owner of this cup and saucer thought it might be quite old but they are not an expert so I’m back for your advice, please. It certainly feels and looks like it’s been around for a lot longer and is quite battered from being played with, I imagine. Hope the images show its wonderful character. I have added the two together to compare. Thank you.

Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you. These cups and saucers certainly look like they've been around a while, don't they? I don't think they're British - again, more likely out of Asia, perhaps late 19th or early 20th century, but that's just a guess as I haven't seen anything else quite like these. Wish I could help more!

I also have another single cup much smaller found in a tip but the same style, they will have to remain my little mystery cups! I greatly appreciate your help, thank you.
