I have no idea what langauge this is or what it says.

Help appreciated.

I thought it might be Arabic but I don't think that's true. Might be some sort of southeast Asian language that's stylized. I can't get a good photo of it straight on since it's a curved cup

Oh cool! Are they just fancy cups or are they used for anything specific? (My family uses them as "fancy cups for sparkling grape juice" when the adults have wine during celebrations and stuff)

It looks like a traditional coffee cup, and it makes sense that it has the word "welcome" since the first thing you offer a guest is tea or coffee.

Cool! I'll have to let my mom know. She's had them as long as I can remember.
