Description:

A pearlware tapered mug printed in black with additional enamel colors added. A red enameled design imitating a shell-edge was added to the rim.  This print appears to incorporate an interesting combination of  two popular Chinese-inspired themes;  that of  La Dame Chinoise and the Jumping Boy.
