Pair of Victorian "A Present from St. Neot Church" souvenir china cups and saucers

A pair of late Victorian ornamental souvenir china cups and saucers of ornate moulded design, in white with gilt decoration and matching monochrome transfer view of a church to each cup with the words "A PRESENT FROM / ST. NEOT CHURCH" to each cup (St. Neot being a village near Liskeard, Cornwall).  The cups, which are both marked with a circular printed "MADE IN GERMANY" stamp to the (unglazed) base, each measure approximately 6.1cm (2.4in) in height and 6.5cm (2.55in) in diameter, whilst the saucers each measure approximately 12.2cm (4.8in) in diameter.  Although matching in shape and design, one saucer is moulded in sharper detail and has a less glossy finish than the other, whilst the transfer on one cup is darker than that of the other.  There is some wear to the gilt decoration, and perhaps also to the transfers, whilst there is some scratching to the saucers (one of which also has some small green marks); there are numerous manufacturing irregularities including spot marks, pinholes, slight rough patches to some edges and occasional small unglazed patches.
