Underglaze Painted Chinese Porcelain Teacup Body/Rim Sherd

Three body and rim sherds from a Chinese-export porcelain teacup with a blue underglaze painted motif around interior rim. The interior rim features a small house and willow tree while the exterior has a tree and floral design. There is an underglaze painted light brown line on the edge of the scalloped rim. The teacup's form appears to be similar to a double-curve shape with a scalloped rim. The body has stained crazing. Consists of two sherds that mend and one sherd that does not mend but is likely from the same vessel.
