About this work
Porcelain cup on a high foot and slightly flaring rim, painted on the glaze in blue, red, pink, green, black and gold. On the outer wall a fantasy landscape with buildings and trees (chinoiserie) with a person with a bird on his hand in a chariot drawn by two swans. Next to this a person with a child at a pavilion. The scene is closed at the top and bottom by a band of small balls in relief. On the rim a leafy tendril. Golden bands on the foot and rim. The inner wall is covered in gold. The handle is in the form of a tendril with a lion's head.
