Subject:vintage celadon cups
Posted By: Shea Tue, Oct 15, 2019 IP: 50.203.72.74

Hello all,
If someone could assist with a translation I would greatly appreciate it.
From what I was told by the previous owner, the cups are from the mid to late 20th century. I think they were made in Taiwan based on the translation of the seal from Google Translate on my phone.
The cups are very small; only about a 3 inch diameter.

Thank you for the translation. I thought they were a little older; but I love them just the same. :-)
I appreciate your help as usual.

I know this is kind of late but I thought I'd share the information just in case it helps someone in the future. The tea cups were produced by a Lin's Ceramics Studio in Taiwan, which was established in 1983. It seems to be a producer of quality ceramics.
