I forgot to mention that box they came in seemed to have space for another or other items.  I wonder if it would be possible to find out what is missing?  I am going to assume a small pot of some sort.  Would love to get hold of whatever goes with it.

yes D&B, they do actually look full size in pics.  Maybe I should have held one in hand for reference...lol.  They are so delicate.  I have been doing a little looking on site and seems alot of these factory items were hand painted.  Maybe so as I see alot of tiny imperfections that you wouldnt notice unless examining closely.  I haven't found a website yet...still looking.  I can't wait to get more info.

Well I am so thrilled to see repsonses so quickly!  Thank you so much. 

KC, sounds like I am very fortunate you recently joined.  And thank you for the info.  I am looking to see if these have any history, and also value of course.  I don't know about selling as I like them an awful lot.  I have a set of 6.

D&b, I believe these are called demitasse cups as they are very small. I did look up definition and it says cup for serving a strong black coffee after dinner or refers to the coffee itself.

Ironclord, I posted another set of pics in another post.

They may just be a mass produced brand, but thats ok.  I love learning about other cultures so I find this exciting anyways.

Again thank you so much.

I think I finally found that this may be Bulgarian or similar.

I am repostig this as it said my downloads were to large so here we go again.  Please check for post #2 as well. 

Hi all,

I am new and it is so wonderful to find this site.  I am at a loss on how to get info on this set.  I have tried everything I could think of.  I think it may be Russian or Czech, etc.  It is two colors, plate is bone and cup is light blue.  I was wondering if anyone could help?  I will post several pics.  I will post a second set of pics in another post.  Thank you so much for any info.
