Five-lobed cup, featuring a delicate rim, is supported by a short, gently spreading foot. The accompanying stand rises elegantly from a broad base to a plate with an elevated, foliate-edged rim. The interior showcases a flower-head-shaped cup stand encircled by a band of intricate floral motifs. Both the cup and stand are coated in a smooth, creamy glaze, adding a sense of refinement and harmony to the piece.
