A look at what is currently available on eBay
I have some old cups and saucers marked 'SIRDAR GP' on the base, can anyone tell me who made them?
Sirdar possibly refers to the pattern and if it does it will be of a smart Indian dude in a uniform because a Sirdar was a native noble in British India. If this is so the cups were made before the forties and may well be Asian in origin. On the other hand GP stands for the country Guadeloupe in the Caribbean which has a high Indian population and I would bet they come from there but were possibly imported from France where they might have been made. Guadeloupe, as the name tell us is French owned.
I hasten to add that I have no records of a pottery or porcelain maker called Sidar in Europe.
