The wide border frieze consists of gilt embellished mazarine blue panels reserving red lotus flowers alternating with a peculiar arrangement of huts in a landscape. A red stylised floral frieze runs inside the cup rim, framed in gilt and finished with a gilt handle. Marked with pattern number 1956, c.1815.
The cup measures 8.9cm (3 1/2") rim to rim and 5.5cm (2 1/8") high to the rim. The saucer measures 14cm (5 1/2") wide and 3cm (1 1/8") high.
