I do not know age or history of these cups. Material looks like porcelain. There are 4 tiny balls embedded in the porcelain on all 4 sides and the bottom. Set of 2. Please let me know if you can provide any info on the origin, use, age, markings.
Thank You

The five beads maybe spur marks, where the box sat on red clay stilts to keep the glaze from fusing it to the kiln.

i wonder if this are spurmarks because they are aligned , so i don,t know, the usage of spurmarks are greatly diminished after 1850
this is an abbreviated stylised guanghu mark 1878-1908 or run out of it or a slighty later period because during the early republic period the faked it
not real value, but cute , but most likely genuine, corrosion on the rim make sense , and the color of the ferro marking marking makes sense
