EXAMPLE

CHINA CROCKERY


The china crockery here includes a large plate in which one may serve
snacks. The plate is curved up slightly at the rim. It has a golden border,
and a number of circles are painted at some distance from the rim. At the
centre is a picture of a red rose with buds and green leaves all around it.
The tea-pot has a narrow bottom, but curves outward towards the centre.
It has a spout and a handle like a triangle. There are designs in bas-relief
along the borders of the lid and the pot. The milk-pot has a concave shape
with a gently curved lip. There is also a convex bowl for sugar and a tea-
cup in a saucer. All of them have the same floral design. The background
colour of the set is light pink.
