The china tea cups and saucers belonged to my great grandmother. I know absolutely nothing about china so I would greatly appreciate any information on value, history etc.
The China is stamped with a green and gold symbol with a crown and what looks kind of like 2 "P"s crossed. Above the symbol it says "Imperial" and below the symbol it says "Made in Germany". On the symbol "Bavaria" is printed. There are 6 cups (4" in diameter) and saucers(6" in diameter), 2 yellow, 2 pink, 1 mint green and 1 lilac. There is also one pink 8" plate.
The colors are not solid, they are darker in color at the top and outer edge and fade into white. The edges are trimmed in gold. The cups have a scalloped little bottom matching the edges of the saucers. There are roses painted on each signed "le Bec".
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks...Paulann
