A superb Chinese armorial porcelain cup and saucer. Chinese rose medallion enamel, with stunning butterflies, flowers and birds. Within reserves there are courtly figures.
Surely one of the last few great armorial services produced in China for the west.
Beautiful oversized cup. Very useable, just don't put it in the dishwasher!
Central crest of the ORMISTON or Ormistone family of KELSO near Roxburgh, Scotland.
A family Seat was GLENBURN HALL. Anchor crest. "Felicior quo certior". The surer the happier.
