Unusual cups with embossed grapes & leaves inside the cups.
I think this sort of Wedgwood is called Queensware. You have a lovely set there.
Yes, they also made Queensware in blue with white decoration.
TY you all for nice comments. The embossed grapes & leaves of the Wedgwood Queensware are inside the cups vs outside the cups.
Are the cups actually marked Wedgwood? It is really unusual that the embossed leaves are inside the cups and it's not as if they would have done it by mistake. Can you take a picture of the marks under the cups?

Maybe you could contact the Wedgwood Museum and ask them why the design is on the inside of the cups!
I emailed the Wedgwood Museum & attached pictures asking their expert advice as to why the design was inside the cups? This is their reply:
In answer to your particular question, I am afraid I have no idea - I can only assume that it was a stylistic choice. I would have perhaps said it made it easier to decorate it without having to negotiate around the handle, but looking at the creamer, they seem to have managed that without too much difficulty.
Best wishes,
The Wedgwood Museum
