DescriptionRound, porcelain teacup (.a) and saucer (.b) with gilding and enamels in green, pink, purple, and tan. Both have a similar pattern of decoration that begins at the foot of the teacup and center of the saucer with pale green enamel. As the green fades into an area of white, it is decorated with swags of green leaves and purple and pink flowers on vines. The area of white is interrupted four times by a gilded and green enamel decoration. Finally, the rim of both the teacup and saucer are decorated with a green enamel edged in gilding. The teacup has a gilded handle and a dusting of gilding applied to the inside of the rim.
