Underglaze Painted Chinese Porcelain Teacup Rim Sherd

One Chinese export porcelain rim sherd with an underglaze blue painted decoration on the exterior and a brown dressed rim. The exterior has a painted floral decoration, possibly depicting a chrysanthemum with a crude color wash. The pattern is similar to a teacup from the same context, but the sherd does not mend to that vessel.
