There isn't room for even one more teacup in my house! I love transferware pottery for the great variety of images and mottos that are often on them. This is a 19th century presentation cup for a child; the motto says "for a good child". Presentation (or award cups) were common gifts for children from teachers and family. Some cups had the child's name on it much like the trinkets of today- think of all the little license plates, keychains and other things you find in gift shops with the names of children.
