Cup and Saucer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white cup and saucer. The saucer has a wide circular shape with a rounded lip. The saucer is decorated with two orange rope-like circular lines around a central crest. The crest features a brown bird perched on top of a cross on a brown shield. A blue and white snake winds around the shield. A white banner on the shield contains three black stars. The shield is surrounded by a decorative orange frame. Pink, purple, and orange flowers adorn the frame on either side. Purple and pink flowers are spaced around the outer rim between two orange rope-like lines. The background is a plain gray color.
