Decorated on a gold ground with three schwarzlot panels of figures. This piece does not relate to any identifiable group or workshop, other pieces of what was presumably once a tea service are known. The style of decoration seems to be reasonably early and could perhaps have been applied in Dresden where we know a lot of porcelain was gilded.

Condition:
three small rim chips. Losses to the gilding.
