These hand painted cups only have a tiny impressed, what looks like a cross, on the bottom. Most I have seen are from Limoges. I am wondering if this mark is a Limoges mark. Thank you

Okay, so this is definitely out of the box...
Minton ?
It doesn't look like their work, but that impressed stamp is giving me Minton tickles.
That "crusader's cross" is definitely the clue that unlocks the maker. Please check French and German makers as well. I'm almost certainly wrong on this one.

I would say they are blanks painted by an amatuer. The painting is so loose that I can't see that a factory put these out. So even if you find the mark, chances are high that the porcelain mark and the decorator won't reveal much.
