Police hunting thieves who stole antiques from a National Trust property have appealed for information.
A pair of 240-year-old cups and saucers was taken from the house at Osterley Park, in Isleworth, on Thursday July 16, as getwestlondon reported at the time.
Police this week appealed for the public's help to find the burglars so the precious items could go back on public display.
Detective Constable Ray Swan, from the Met's Arts and Antiques Unit, said: "The cups and saucers are of significant historical value. We believe that whoever took them specifically targeted these pieces.
"We would urge anyone who may know of their whereabouts to come forward as they may hold vital information to help us catch whoever was responsible for this burglary."
Police said they were called to the estate in Jersey Road at around 4.40pm, following reports the items had been taken from a locked cabinet.
They said a wedding was being held in the venue's main entrance hall - on the building's first floor - but the room containing the items was locked to the public at the time.
The cups and saucers are Berlin porcelain dating from the Georgian era. They were made between 1770 and 1775 and are inscribed with the busts of Russian ruler Catherine the Great and Prussian king Frederick William II, who reigned during the 18th century.
The cups are described as being dark blue and painted 'en grisaille' with heavy gilding, flower sprays, finials and branch handles.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Met's Arts and Antiques Unit on 020 7230 2150, or Crimestoppers, free and anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
