DescriptionThis is a 'Fisherman and Willow Pavilion' Pattern Beaker (A) and Saucer (B). The beaker is finely "strap fluted" and reserved with three rococo panels issuing floral sprigs and painted with either a Chinaman fishing near a willow beside a pavilion, a willow growing by a rock or flowering shrubbery growing by a rock, the saucer less finely moded but similarly painted around a central blossom medallion, and each piece with a trellis diaper border around the rim.
