Tea cup with saucer purple flowers and green leaves
Tea cup is two inches tall with gold handle and some markings on the bottom. The teacup opening is about three inches wide. The saucer does not have any markings on it but it is the same pattern as the teacup. The saucer is approx 5 inches across. It looks like at some point there was gold around the rim of the teacup.
I believe this was a teacup that my great grandmother used. My family got it when we sold our family farm in Pennsylvania. It's something we've carried with us all these years.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The name on the bottom of the cup looks like Conger; I've not found any other potter by that name. As a single cup and saucer, this will have very modest value, in the $20-30 range for both together
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
An antique hand-painted and parcel gilt porcelain cup and saucers
