Underglaze Painted Chinese Porcelain Teacup

Ten thin base and body sherds from a small Chinese-export porcelain (or possibly Japanese porcelain) teacup with a blue underglaze painted motif on the exterior body. The interior has no visible decoration. The pattern is unknown due to the small size of the sherds. The teacup has a small, slightly-yellowed footring. All of the sherds are mended. This vessel is cross-mended between contexts.
