A vintage coffee cup on a patterned saucer, crowned by a bouquet of blush pink and crimson flowers, all inside a round frame with a thin gold edge. Dark brown filigree on the right and bottom and cream floral washes on the left give the pattern its light and dark modules. The finder squares are hidden among the blooms, the cup handle and the ornamental scrollwork. Strong contrast between the black coffee, the dark foliage and the pale porcelain keeps the pattern readable, while gold leaf sprigs break the circular outline at the top right.
