Saucer Made I have some old cups and saucers marked 'SIRDAR GP' on the base, can anyone tell me who made them?
Sirdar possibly refers to the pattern and if it does it will be of a smart Indian dude in a uniform because a Sirdar was a native noble in British India. If this is so the cups were made before the forties and may well be Asian in origin. On the other hand GP stands for the country Guadeloupe in the Caribbean which has a high Indian population and I would bet they come from there but were possibly imported from France where they might have been made. Guadeloupe, as the name tell us is French owned.
I hasten to add that I have no records of a pottery or porcelain maker called Sidar in Europe.

How do I tell if a teacup is safe to use?
I recently found a very pretty teacup/saucer at a local thrift store. However, I'm not sure if its porcelain or polyresin. I'm worried about using it since decorative tea sets are made from polyresin and not appropriate for use due to the material used. Is there a way to tell if this cup is decorative only - or if its intended for use?
Do the 'ring' test to see if it's porcelain/ good quality china.
Hold the cup in the palm of your hand, or at one edge. Then with a fingernail hit the side of the cup- gently. As though you were flicking the side. If you get a clear bell tone ring sound (a true note) then it's real porcelain. This does not always work with heavy duty porcelain ( ovenware).
Good quality procelain/ china can also be highly decorative See the royal doulton site for good examples.
