Following up on yesterday's posting...I've added some photos of a few of the tea cups in natural light. Perhaps that will aid in their authenticity, dating, identification.

The basic design copies a design that has been in existence since at least the middle of the Qing dynasty. There are some differences, though.
Both foot rims are unusual. Further, it looks like bowls with handles attached, rather than cups - very wide.
My personal opinion is that these could be 20th century items.
