These were hand painted and 22K gold gilded. 

This cup has a fancy handle..and very little wear. Saucer also has little wear. There is a tiny flea bite under the gilding.

The small fine hairline surface crack I found by black light. It was not visible to my eye. Above and to right of peach.(see photos)..It does not photo. I mention it to honest. Both look great.

I think these are fine china paintings and were always meant for display as art pieces.

Because NO Apparent damage doesn't help much after you have paid $200.thinking its mint..so .I black light china.

Something I don't see many sellers doing.

The starting price reflects the noted defects 

These are close to or past 100 yrs old.

Will be double boxed.

Thanks for looking
