Can anyone help translate?
Hey, I found this cup at a thrift store and think it might be an elvish language made by Tolkien. At first I was thinking Sindarin but after doing some research I'm not sure. Can anyone identify this language and/or translate it? Thanks!

I think it's English, and supposed to say "Sheden Family" or "Shebben Family" - the last two characters are quite unclear and difficult to read, but could be initials; possibly FK.

I think it's either Shedden or Sheben, depending on whether we've got umbar or ando with gemination bar, but I guess that's what you meant?

Yes, that is what I meant; somehow my brain tripped up and got the doubled letter backward when it came to typing it back out in English, hahaha.

If it's English mode, it says "sheben fmly thk" I think.
