    vintage chinese(?) Tea Cup Hand Painted No Lid Or Handle Fu & Shou Symbols.
    Based on my research and my limited knowledge, I believe this cup contains the Chinese symbols for Fu (Good Fortune) and Shou (Longevity).
    Oddly although as far as I can tell the characters on the cup are Chinese, the cup shape and style seems to be in the Japanese yunomi style of teacup-with no handle or lid, so that you cannot pick up the cup until the tea is cool enough to drink.
    There is a makers mark on the bottom of the cup but I was unable to translate it. If you have any insight into this cup I would be grateful to know more!
    Cup is 3.5” tall and 2.5” in diameter
