My daughter bought two tea cups and saucers at a local shop and they look hand painted..... But how do I identify them.....or the maker?



She only paid $5 for all...... But we would like to know about them...... any info/help would be appreciated.

Al,
I'd say that's bamboo you're a lookin at.  Not good for carvin - probably why you didn't recognize it. 

Seriously, though, they do look nice.
