The cups have the distintive design which I saw on the tie Lord Wedgwood has on in an article. Some info leads me to their age as being 1840-1845. They are markedWedgwood&Barlaston of Etruria. made in England. Across the bottom of labeling is DRURY LANE. The design on them is so clear and flawless. It is a lemon and a plum colored fruit maybe a plum, the two appear to be on the same vine of green leaves. I know from the article I found that the name Wedgwood is known for fine china and personal design which is always hand initialed mine have MB and are numbered 4 and I have six of them. Martha Washington George Washington wife was an owner of this company also.

research ebay and other online sites just by typing the name of the item in the search box. Then make a note of the data you find. If done correctly you can at least ascertain a good guess of current market value. If you are happy with that price then seek out several free online classified adds and see what happens. Specify the price you want and FIRM or jack up the price 10 percent and then put Or Best Offer above x amount. This way you test the waters and don't pay fees for listing the item. Depending on how the free stuff goes then choose an online auction and entice with low starting bid but put a reserve on the price so you don't take a loss. Any combination of this might be helpful but time consuming if placing in free adds. So do the investigating and TAKE WHAT YOU LIKE. Even go into any local auction house and ask opinions. Other dealers with similar items can be helpful if ethical. Because they may want you top part with it so they can turn it over again.
Hope this gives you a bit more info to go on?

I don't know how to find a buyer other than suggesting you list them on ebay or take them to an antique shop. But if you go to www.replacements.com they'll be able to tell you what they're worth by telling you how much it would cost to replace them. My mom's china was destroyed in a fire & I sent them a picture of a piece of it to them & they were able to identify it & give me prices on replacement pieces for insurance pieces.
