Found old asian tea cups

brown and tan teacups with dragons

I have been searching everywhere to find out information on these teacups. I have 5 of the brown and tan and 2 of the blue and grey. I would appreciate any information you might know of them. They look like the sort peasants would use, but look old. The clay is coarse. They are unmarked.

thanks for any info.

Here too, close-ups of a cup (side, bottom and inside) would be required to check on the details.

From the color combination and glaze I would say it is not very old, at the most a few decades. If the decoration details on the cups looks exactly the same, then it is transferware/printed, not hand painted. With handpainted porcelain there always differences between single units, even if they were made in the same batch.
