AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A famille-rose covered tea cup decorated in the incised ground technique. The exterior is finely worked with delicate engraved scroll patterns beneath a rich and elegant grape-purple ground, creating a subtle textured effect across the surface.

Over this vibrant ground, blooming floral sprays are carefully painted in soft enamel tones, with petals shaded in white and pink and accented by fresh green leaves. The contrast between the deep purple background and the lively floral decoration gives the piece a refined yet striking presence.

The item will be professionally packed and shipped with a reliable and efficient courier service to ensure safe delivery.
