Description:

This earthenware syllabub cup (used for a hot drink of milk mixed with sugar, wine and sometimes egg whites) shows view No. 14 in David and Linda Arman's numbering system.  The border on the interior of the cup includes only 10 of the 15 states used in this design. Shown as an additional image below is a view from above the cup. The central pattern on this example is taken from the source print shown below.   Prior to discovery of the source prints that Clews used for these patterns, researchers David and Linda Arman endeavored to provide descriptive names for them.  The Armans named this scene, Mansion, Circular Drive.
