A porcelain saucer with Famille Verte enamels, decorated with figures on a terrace. The rim is adorned with alternating butterflies and grasshoppers on a green lattice background with red flowers.

This pattern is commonly found on plates, but it is rare to see this decoration on a cup. The enamels are particularly fine, and the designs are more elaborate and refined than those on the plates.
