Information from V&A website: A brown rim lines the narrow flange with its blue band interrupted by small squares. The well is filled with a double S-stem with knotted scrolling around six flowers and six long-stemmed buds. A further narrow band of scrolling leaves surrounds an unusual type of lotus from which emerge four leafy branches and four neat buds at the tip of a stem. Four sketchy flowers flowers on the outside scroll amidst small loose leaves and twigs. A plain band leads to the base ring which has no mark.
