Cup and saucer set in off white and dark blue on a neutral grey background. The cup is rounded at bottom with slightly flared sides and no handle. Surrounding the bottom of the cup are raised vertical lines. The lines are rounded at top and stretch over two thirds of the sides of the cup. Around the rim of the cup are dark blue stylized leaves, in various spiral and curved shapes bound by a thin blue line at top. A row of rounded triangles pointed down circle the bottom of the cup. The cup sits on a saucer with sides that curve up making it almost bowl like. The pattern on the rim of the cup is repeated around the edge of the saucer. Raised vertical lines like a sunburst surround a raised circular niche where the cup is perfectly nestled inside. The saucer sits on a circular base.
