the cup delicately potted with rounded sides supported on a splayed foot, rising to a hexalobed everted rim, the stand molded with a central raised ring within a six-lobed rim, resting on a splayed recessed base formed from six lappets, each pierced with a central heart-shaped motif, the cup and stand applied with a transparent blue glaze, the unglazed base of each revealing a white biscuit burnt russet-brown in the firing (2).
