antique Staffordshire china tea cups, Furnivals Quail bird brown transferware

Beautiful old 1800s vintage brown transferware china tea cups - just three in this lot, and no saucers. But this is a hard to find aesthetic period pattern, grouse or partridge birds, marked Furnivals - Quail.

The cups are very stained and crazed, but quite solid yet, without chips or cracks. These are 3 1/2" in diameter across the rims of the cups - not too dainty!
