Description:

Bone china cup and saucer with printed design in purplish-red. The pattern has elements reflecting the arts and craft interest in Japanese design, especially the inclusion of the sunflowers which appear in three vignettes around the saucer and on the front of the cup. However the designer has not committed completely to Japonism, and includes more benign elements of flowering branches with birds.
