Porcelain coffee cup with a cobalt blue transfer-printed design. The interior and exterior edges of the cup's lip have an alternating patterned border of sail-like shapes with convex lines inside. The exterior of the cup has two hanging baskets with floral sprays. In between the two baskets is a single floral spray tied with a bow. The cup has a bell shape with a base of 1 3/4" diameter. The handle has an open ear-like shape 2 1/4" high which starts just below the border and finishes just as the sides taper more drastically.
