Q: I bought two large cups with handles with a shield mark. Inside the shield there is a horn with the words “Porcelaine” above it and “De Sologne, LaMotte” and the number “3” below. The pattern is a pretty splay of pink flowers and green leaves and the rim inside is gold gilt palmettos. The shield itself is all in gold. I can’t find anything like it. Can you help?

A: Your cups were probably made in the 1960s by Porcelaine de Sologne, which was located in La Motte, France. The company became part of the Deshoulières Group in Lamotte-Beuvron in 1980. Two similar cups with saucers, were offered for sale online for $24 recently.
