The vignette featured is of a woman, in a garden type setting with a small child, and her husband (or admirer!), looking on fondly as they play. Flowers are everywhere! The scene reminds me of Marie Antoinette and her "play cottage" at Versailles.
I love the green color used on this set. It's very reflective with the light hitting it. The gold trim is in excellent condition. There's even a band of it on the interior of the cup.
Below is a picture of the matching dinner plate.
The dinner plate has this lovely, raised design around the edges. The saucer has a slightly different design around its edges. Dinner plate detail below.
Tea cup, saucer and dinner plate.
All three are marked Ardalt, Bavaria, Germany No. 9012.
