Can anyone identify this?

Hope I've attached the pictures ok, first time I've tried this.

Anyone know anything about these lovely yet cracked cups I have?

I don't know who made them but they are 'Adelaide' shape and are tea and coffee cups from a true trio (that is a tea cup, coffee cup and saucer rather than the later trios of cup, saucer and plate). These probably date to the 1840s.

Like Jes, I don't know for sure the maker of these but they have a look of Derby pottery about them
