About this object
The ground is pink; the pieces consist of a covered teapot, covered sugar bowl, and four cups and saucers; the cups and saucers and the pot's cover have each one panel reserved in white; the pot, bowl and its cover have each two similar panels. All have the same decoration- a wreath of flowers which follows the shape of the panel; each is framed by extensive, vigorous gold leafy scrolls; the knobs on the covers are white flower heads in the round.
