This lovely 2-piece set includes a 7-ounce drum-shaped tea cup and matching 6-inch saucer. A cluster of yellow jasmine and butterflies adorn the outer bowl of the small cup, while the signature leaf pattern borders the edge of the saucer. Five other decorative flower motifs, including speedwell, pimpernel, heartsease, rhododendron, and forget-me-not can be found on this tea set.
