These tea cups and saucers have no markings. I am posting all that look alike. Looks and feels delicate. They belonged to my best friend Great Uncle Hamp. He left several items and I need to see what they are.

Yes sir boss, we will jump right on that..........
I am new to the site, but I have been browsing for three days to try and make sense of some of these items.
I've seen your comments and want you to know that I am quite appreciative and will never take you for granted.
Forgive me but being on here a lot we get tired of folks using us for a dumping ground for stuff they buy or aquire but don't want to bother looking up, it makes one angry when the first search we do gets hundreds of hits.
I have been going through these items hoping to find my items and I wouldn't have to bother anyone.
This is no easy task and I understand perfectly what you are saying. In fact, you blew off a few peeps....lol
It's just time has run out or is running I should say. I love research actually, but it is a very intense research search. So I am just trying to photograph these items and label them somehow and pack them away. On to the next box..
My goal today is to put up the glassware in my presence, because Wanda says there is a couple more boxes.
From what you have seen so far, what can I improve on immediately?
