NEED YOUR HELP. Please tell me more about this cup.

[Wheels]

I have this cup, but I don't know anything about it. Can you help me figure this out? It's 4 inches tall and 4 1/4 at the mouth. The numbers 403 are stamped into the bottom. And I know it was made before the 1940's, I don't know how much before because that when my mother remember seeing it as a kid. Please check out the picture, I appreciate any help I could get.. Thank You.

probably porcelain and i believe the 403 stamp reffers to the pattern/style,the scene looks to be a transfer(sticker type embelishment applied while wet-if so with a mag. glass you will see little dots unlike the strokes that a brush would make) to where the gold lines are painted on by hand...

thats about all i can offer...yet i could be totaly wrong

good luck with the I.D...and welcome to Tnet Wheels
