     This is an example 
of    champleve   enamel 
and    painted    enamel
techniques being used on
the same piece, with the
reserves being decorated
with flowers and Western
ladies in painted enamels.
The cups have handles with
a gilded openwork cloud 
pattern.  The result is a 
sophisticated blending of 
Chinese  and  Western 
elements.
