Elegant Arzberg Porcelain - Actual Item

I am clearing out the last of many boxes from my parents era and my grandparents. I don't know very much about antiques and have certainly let some items go very cheaply but if they have a new home and aren't just stuck in a box, that's fine.

I can't quite bring myself to dispose of this elegant cup and saucer and would love to know more about it.

The mark on the base is of a crown (joined at the top with a star) on top of a quartered shield of which 2 opposing diagonal quarters have the letters P (top left)and A (bottom right).

Does P and A stand for Porzellenfabrik Arzberg?

The other quarters are filled with diagonal lines. Beneath the shield the 2 lined script reads 'Arzberg Bavaria'.

The base of the saucer is also marked with a gilded 80 and the cup with a gilded 22.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.
