Hybrid hard-paste porcelain, glazed, and painted overglaze in blue, green, pink, red, and pale purple enamels. The tea bowl has deep curved sides and stands on a footring. The circular saucer (A) has shallow curved sides and a footring. The tea bowl is decorated inside with a central sprig, and round the upper edge with a border comprising an undulating red line, interlacing with a faint undulating pale purple line, and groups of pale purple dots below. A red band encircles the inner edge of the rim. On the outside there are four different floral sprays. The saucer has a central floral spray surrounded by four smaller sprays with four detached leaves between them, and a similar border round the edge.
