Cup with polychrome bands (13558)


Cup with polychrome bands (13558)

The cup, which is part of a dinner service, is footless and the outer part of the base is slightly concave. Its surface is subdivided into four segments by two white bands which intersect in the centre. Inside each of the sectors there are alternating bands of white, yellow and blue which create a herring bone pattern. On the bottom and inside the corners formed by the yellow and blue bands, there are small squares with a chequerboard decoration, while along the rim and the sides of the two perpendicular white bands there is a white and blue edging.
