I can't find anything about it.  But it looks like the mark says "????".  When you put that into to google, there's some Chinese auctions I believe that may be selling some porcelain by that maker.  Not sure if it looks like what you have.

Thank you Hmm!!! They look very similar to the ones on I'm looking for. Still I don't understand the name of the makers but they basically have their own style. Thank you very much!!!

I just won them on an auction today, so probably its going to take me like a couple of weeks to get them. I will post the images as soon as I get them. The auction escalated very quickly so they must be something decent. Thank you for your answers...

Hey Guys, they arrived. I'm going to post just once since they are the same build type of ink and everything but different scene.

I hope you like them

Looks indeed as if they were made at the same place and time. The view where all writing is visible has a cyclical date. The only one that could be applicable would be 1959, but it may well be later, perhaps in the last two or three decades. It looks all too new, without particular age signs, expecially the writing is black and without abrasion.

Oh, okey what I see there. for some reason I switched the lids of the cups. I will try to match it to each other.

Here are the rest. There is some wear to them but not as usually expected.under the mic they look hand painted even the letters.

By the way, what do you mean by cyclical date? is it par of a story or something or is it commemorating something? Age signs. I guess they look kind of new.

I took a risk in bidding this online and it may seem i bought the wrong stuff. I guess that will teach me.

By the way I forgot to mention that the cups are vey translucent. like if you were looking at european porcelain. not a very thick porcelain.

thank you

As I mentioned already many times, hand-painted or handmade are not signs  specific to antiques. Even now hand-painting is common.
