Description: | Straight sided cup, narrower at base than at rim, with angular handle and circular cover with round knob. Sides of saucer slope gently inwards towards a deep central well into which the cup fits. Examples of waterlife and plants are painted in coloured slips on deep blue simulating three layers of a pond; the saucer has assorted shells, two frogs, a newt and pebbles on the rim, and a flowering plant in the well; the cup has reeds along the base and various swimming fish (including a ? trout); the cover has butterflies and a dragonfly. These are overlaid with gilded decoration suggesting a net, with the exception of the central well. There are gilded lines around the foot ring of the saucer, edge of the well and rim; on the base and rim of the cup; rim of the lid; and additional gilding on knob and handle.
