This old porcelain cup and saucer belonged to my mother's aunt. Were she alive today, she'd be 114 :) She was a very adventurous woman who traveled widely, nursing in India and visiting Kashmir. I have photographs of her on horseback in India, and also standing beside her black Austin 7 car.

Wishing I knew her more about her travels, as I have several of her "Chinese" possessions, but no idea when she acquired them.

If anyone looking at this can tell me if the characters have a meaning, I'd love to know.
