Source Description

On the cup's plique-à-jour walls is a continuous aquatic scene in which appear the following: a swan floating on water, shown against a dramatic sunset; flying swallows; a butterfly; another swan, and a stork wading in a pond. Interspersed are aquatic and terrestrial plants. Bordering the cup's upper rim is a pattern of light blue diamond shapes separated by white lozenges against a red background. The base reveals an abstract blossom in yellow, green, turquoise, and red enamel.
