Product description/features

This is a gorgeous teacup that was probably produced around the 19th century and was heavily influenced by the Famille Rose style. Reflecting the Oriental tastes that were popular among the British upper class at the time, it is a valuable piece that tells the history of cultural exchange, reproducing the elegant decorative techniques of Chinese porcelain with a British interpretation.

A variety of floral patterns are delicately drawn on the outside, with yellow and orange flowers and green leaves appearing gorgeously together on the white porcelain. It has a sophisticated composition with geometric patterns and vermilion lines on the inside edge, and decorative panels arranged regularly between them. Its elegant form with a pedestal and delicate curved handle embody the decorative style typical of the Victorian era. The penetration and changes in color over time quietly tell the story of the passage of time, creating a deep flavor unique to antiques.
