DescriptionThis is a white cup shaped like a short, wide cylinder with the base slightly more narrow than the body. The cup has a small circular handle, about the size for one finger to fit through, near the rim of one side. To the right of the handle is an image of a bright yellow California poppy flower with a green stem and leaves. The flower is painted closed, and pale brown leaves are also painted behind it. To the left of the handle is another large image of the same flower fully open. This image also has the same colors.
