Cup and Saucer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a white ceramic cup and saucer set, but only the cup is shown. The cup has a rounded body with a short base and slightly curved lip. The lip of the cup features scalloped edges with decorations. The interior and exterior of the cup are white with black designs. On the front of the cup, a double-headed eagle design with spread wings is visible; one head faces left and the other right. The eagle's heads have large eyes and hooked beaks. It appears to grasp items in its talons; one appears to be a branch with leaves on the left and an item on the right. Below the eagle, a rectangular area with indecipherable text is present.
