DescriptionThis small cup is shaped like a short, wide cylinder with a narrow base and wide rim. The base is white, however intricate decorations in different shades of pink cover both the outside and inner center. Four large flower bouquets are evenly spaced around the outside and inside. Between these bouquets are three curving lines from the top to bottom decorated to look similar to intricate lace, with flowers and dots within. These lines in turn are bordered by dots and circles which also border the bouquet section. Small floral designs are drawn just under the rim, which has the same dot and circle border. These decorations are also repeated on the inside. At the bottom of the inside are three flower bouquets arranged around a center flower. The same lace and dot pattern surrounds these images.
