Description

A porcelain teacup with blue trim around the rim. The TEAL logo is painted on to the left of the handle in blue (TEAL along with stylised flying fish (Maroro)). On the base is the maker's mark in brown. An ornate urn above "Wedgwood/Bone China/Made in England". The base is 45 mm in diameter. The cup narrows above the base to create a foot. The sides of the body gradually widen then change angles half way up creating a slight bulge in the upper half of the cup. The handle is attached to the right of the TEAL logo and features a slightly flattened area of the curve of the handle.
