Comments
The transfer-printed cup and saucer have black-printed pictures of a cow and bull in bucolic settings. One the saucer, the bull is standing behind the cow that lies on the ground near a stream. On the cup, the cow and bull occupy separate images. A gilded band, which now appears to be a shade of orange, encircles the insides of both objects near the rim.
