A Chinese export coffee cup with London decoration of flower sprays, a caterpillar and other insects. There is a single flower spray painted inside the cup. Brown-painted rim.

Provenance: Collection label for Jill McNeile to the base.
Date: Qianlong circa 1755 to 1765
Condition: this cup is in good condition. There is a little roughness to the rim and a few glaze faults at the foot rim.
