About this pattern

A white china teacup on its saucer, seen from the side: a wide round bowl on a small foot with a loop handle on the right, a gold line along the rim of the cup and the edge of the saucer, and one pink rose with a green leaf on each side painted on the middle of the bowl. A pale gray shade runs down the right of the cup and a dark brown outline holds the white. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 23 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 23 high: 713 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783 and 5 more).
