The shape of the cup is rounded and pinched in the center to square it. The handle is in the shape of a branch.The saucer is quatrefoil. Then there is the very fine decoration. Vignettes of lovers are on both sides of the cup and two sides of the saucer. They are beautifully hand painted with fine detail. Alternating sides of the cup and the saucer have colorful sprays of flowers. The borders are light blue with a kind of fish scale variation. The borders are outlined with delicate hand gilding. The handle and rims are trimmed with delicate gilding. This is one of the sweetest confections of porcelain from Victorian times. #C787 Please do not bid if you do not intend to pay.
