A tight dark medium-blue transfer pattern manages to pack a quantity of Chinoiserie detail onto the surface of this tiny toy handless cup and saucer. The saucer features a waterside tableau complete with some sort of zig-zag dock or bridge, framed in a border of dense flowers and foliage. The cup features two scenic reserves centering on conventional Chinese structures. They are separated by the dense floral print which is repeated as a border inside the cup. A small floral cluster in the bottom of the cup finishes the piece.
