I was cleaning my china cabinet and while washing one of the china cups that
my Welsh grandmother brought from Wales on her last trip home in 1903, I
found something that I am not sure of.

The cup is a white china with black print. One one side of the cup is a "A
Wedding in Wales" and it has the wedding party in their finery.

The other side has "Welsh Costumes:. There are one man and 4 women in
various costumes. One woman appears to have a giant cup on her head!!! Just
wondering what it could be.

The saucer has "A Bidding in Wales" and I was wondering what a Bidding was?
One lady pictured has a basket and a man has either a drum or a container of
some sort. I thought that it might be a picnic?

Any help would be appreciated so that future generations of my family can
appreciate this.

Thanks,

Janet in Virginia, USA warm and HUMID!!!!
