Mandarin Bouquet Mug

Dimension: 4.25" High

A charming bouquet in a basket, adapted from an 18th century Chinese export Hong bowl, is surrounded by the classic blue and white Fitzhugh border. The elements combine to create an exuberant, shapely, and elegant dinner service. Produced from the collection of Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library

Highlights of the ceramics collection at Winterthur include nearly 5,000 Chinese export porcelain objects, many of them produced for the American market, as well as special-order wares once owned by famous historical figures.  An astonishingly wide array of American market and other table-, tea-, and ornamental ware helps illustrate the broad range of shapes available to the general consumer.
