Comments

The white, Chinese export porcelain mug, also occasionally called a tankard, has a cylindrical body that curves inward near the rim and above raised beading.  Raised beading also runs around the base.  The interlaced strap handle attaches at four rose-colored molded floral sites.  The body has small floral motifs around it.  The rim has a gilded and blue band above a wavy gilded and blue band punctuated by floral sprays.  A pseudo armorial device within an oval order is painted opposite the handle.
