Trembleuse cup and saucer
Factory: Saint-Cloud Porcelain Manufactory
Soft-paste porcelain painted in enamels in Kakiemon style
Soft-paste porcelain of creamy tone, moulded thickly, and painted overglaze in blue, green, yellow, red, and black enamels. The cup's rim is scalloped with alternately large and small arcs from which vertical flutes run down to the footring. On one side is attached a rustic loop handle. The edge of the circular saucer is very lightly scalloped with large arcs, and has a scalloped ring round the centre to hold the footring of the cup. Both pieces are decorated in Kakiemon style with rocks, bamboo, flowering plants, and 'banded hedge' or wheatsheaf.
