Hi,
This little cup has the following maker's mark on it and I wondered if anyone out there happens to know it.
Cheers
Monte

Hi Monte,
Can you have another attempt with the maker's mark? Try cleaning it with hot soapy water and a cotton bud to remove the build up of silver polish and then capture an image in daylight using the macro feature on your camera.
