A white soft-paste porcelain cup features a bulbous body widening from a short pedestal foot before flaring at the rim. Hand-painted pink flowers with outward-curving petals and tiny blue blossoms among green leaves decorate the front. A pink cross-hatched border above a wavy green line wraps the rim, while a thin pink line rings the base. A small handle juts from the back rim.
