According to Patricia Coccoris' book, it seems that frilly cups like this one were most common during the very late C19 and the Edwardian period  -  there is a very similar vase showing in a Carter's bulb catalogue from 1910.      Not guaranteed of course that yours is from that period as some shapes crop up at various times, but judging by the colour and the wear that you mention then quite likely.

Patricia may have more light to shed on this :)
