35mm color slide of a white milk cup (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). It has no handles, and is octagonally shaped, with eight delicately curved panels. As visible in this slide, two of the panels are decorated with raised flowers in relief, and another panel is painted with a gold design depicting a bird, urn, and flowers. The rim and bottom edge of the cup are gilded. The number 6 is handwritten on the slide.
