Description: The tea cup with the so-called 'Tischchenmuster-Dekor', introduced by Höroldt in 1732, which shows a small table and a vase in the centre of the wall, depicted in underglaze blue decor. Magnificent branches with peonies and chrysanthemums sprout from these, depicted in bright onglaze colours.
