Teabowl and saucer. Hard-paste porcelain painted on the biscuit in green, aubergine, yellow, white and black. Each piece has well-rounded sides and a flared lipped rim. The saucer has a central conch shell encircled by 'pearl', lozenge and musical stone emblems, all in yellow and dark aubergjne, reserved against a ground of spiralling waves pencilled in black with foaming white crests, strewn with florettes and applied with a rich emerald-green translucent enamel; the rim is encircled by waves breaking on either side of four jagged aubergine rocks. The teabowl has matching decoration.
History note: The Cunliffe Collection Catalogue records that the piece was purchased at Christies, 22.6.16, Lot 192, for £20
