About this object

The ground is pink; the pieces consist of a covered teapot, covered sugar bowl, and four cups and saucers; the cups and saucers and the pots's cover have each one panel reserved in white; the pot, bowl and its cover have each two similar panels. All pieces have the same decoration-a wreath of flowers which follows the shape of the panel; each is framed by extensive, vigorous gold leafy scrolls; the knobs on the covers are white flower heads in the round.
