Based on a set of Chinese-export porcelain plates that descended in the Drayton family, this mug is perfect for your morning tea or coffee.
The floral plates are decorated with opaque enamels, incorporating a much brighter palette of colors than the earlier 18th century translucent enamels. This color palette is now referred to as "famille rose" and highlights the addition of the vibrant pink hue found in the petals of the large central flower.
