A white enamel cup and saucer feature gold-scroll rims and colorful figures. The handleless cup depicts a man in a striped coat near a woman in a pink gown with a towering white wig. On the saucer, a man styles a seated woman's tall white wig. Both scenes include green trees and small buildings against the white background. Gold patterns of scrolls and dots run along the inner rims of both vessels.
