Description
A blue and white porcelain teacup and saucer decorated with branching blossoms in a traditional East Asian botanical style.
The transferware design pairs sprays of small blossoms with a repeating scroll and floral lattice border. The border runs along the inner and outer upper rim of the cup and around the outer rim of the saucer. The cup’s rounded bowl and curved handle provide a simple outline against the detailed floral decoration. Repeated blue borders visually unite the two pieces without obscuring the branching stems. The saucer carries the blossom theme across a wider surface, allowing the relationship between the small flowers, open white ground and dark ornamental edge to remain clear. Related pieces appear in the Blues and Whites and Ceramics collections.
