There are two variants of the Hy-Hil Studio Cup of Fortune.
One is backstamped in gold "The Cup of Fortune / Hy-Hil Studio."
The other is simply backstamped in gold "Hy-Hil Studio."
The pattern of the pottery, the style of painting, and amount of gilding is different on the two types. This indicates that the cups were purchased as bisque ware from two different maker or pottery sources and then glazed or decorated by the Hy-Hil Studio.
Both types are marked with the Design Patent number D 124238. This number was issued in 1940.
No saucer has yet been found with either style of cup and it is presumed that no saucer was issued.
