Scope and Contents

This is a small teacup with four pink and orange flower illustrations. There is a long thin crack extending across one half of the teacup and small chips along the cup rim. There is a red seal stamp on the cup base with four Chinese characters forming a square, presumably the maker's seal but too faded to be made out. A sticker was found on the base of the cup with 'Chinese Early 19th century' written on it.
