Thrift Store China


The peacocks really caught my eye at the thrift store. No cracks or chips but also no tea cup to go with it.): I still liked the design. They are all marked Spode Copelands China England. In a wreath it is Warring & Gillow LTR, Oxfords London. I can see all types embroidery!!
Back of Peacock dish.




These cups I have no idea where they are from.

Very pretty finds! The writing on the cups looks Indian to me.

The writing on the cups looks almsot like styled Arabic writing... not quite sure about those sure... Could that be a moon and star on the inside of the cup... a very popular Muslim symbol... strange no marking on the bottom of the cup?!
Enjoy you finds! :)
