Beaker. Hard-paste porcelain painted in black, green, aubergine, yellow and white enamels with four panels of flowering trees and chrysanthemum.
Beaker. Hard-paste porcelain painted in black, green, aubergine, yellow and white enamels The tall, gently flared sides are standing on a small, straight foot. The exterior has four upright lotus-petal shaped panels enclosing three trees in blossom and sprays of chrysanthemum in aubergine, green, yellow and white reserved against a lustrous black ground; a band of small white and aubergine upright petals encircles the base and there is a green cracked-ice border strewn with prunus florettes beneath the rim. The interior is pencilled in black with a floral sprig at the centre and a scroll border round the rim. The decoration is all on the biscuit beneath a smeared colourless glaze.
History note: This piece does not have a number label but is probably no T.112, described in the Cunliffe Collection Catalogue as purchased at Dickenson (no date given) for £100 together with T.111.
