TEA CUP

[MR MOZZ]

Hello to everyone ! i was hoping i could recieve some information on this china tea cup ?
The print on the bottom of the cup reads : ORMONDE/ ENOCH 1784 - RALPH 1750
WOOD & BURSLEM
ENGLAND

Omg my first reply... here goes........ Some ware bears a mark on which appears "RALPH 1750" "MOSES 1751" "ENOCH 1784" (sometimes just RALPH & ENOCH) - in spite of this, the ware bearing these dates does NOT date from the 1700's - these refer to three of the brothers of the Wood family.

Hope this is helpful

If you could get a pic of the hallmark that would be a bit more helpful.  Enoch Wood & Sons was from Burslem Staffordshire in England, Enoch Wood was a apprentice under Wedgwood  in 1784, under Enoch Wood and Sons the company was in Business until 1846.  Your cups has many other names I as of yet don't know about.  I would have to see that hallmark do any more research on it.  It would be my conculsion like stated earlier that these are the names of the Sons of Enoch Wood, However the name ralph has a earlier date 1750, which is 30 years prior to the start of Enoch Wood and Sons.  Maybe a early partner.  This is all confusing to me
