Hand painted tea cup with brown cracked glaze and simple floral decoration - no pottery mark on base but three cobalt blue lines painted under the glaze on the rim:- I have been searching the internet for some clue to the origin of this cup but I cannot find anything similar. The cup is olive brown cracked glaze with a floral decoration on the outside, there is no mark on the base but the inside is painted with red flowers and the rim has six sets of three cobalt blue lines painted under the glaze, the cup looks hand painted and seems to be quite old, any help would be much appreciated.
