DescriptionA bowl-shaped, handleless cup and a similarly decorated saucer, both painted in blue and black. Blue is used only to delineate the single register of design on each piece, with single, circular lines, while a double blue line is painted inside the cup's footring. The outside of the cup and the face of the saucer are both painted in black and dark gray with large, almost abstract, fruits or floral forms, smaller leaves, stems and scattered comb-like figures.
