About this work
Porcelain cup with a high, curled handle, painted on the glaze in red, green and gold. The cup is almost entirely covered with gold. The outer wall is decorated with various bands: above the foot an egg-and-dart motif on a green background, a leaf vine incised in gold, floral vines and shell motifs on a red background and zigzag lines incised in gold. The base of the handle is in the form of a palmette and in the curl is a lion's mask. Marked on the underside with a B.
