This is the painting on the front of the 2nd cup in my set of 12 Chinese Flowers of the Months tea cups. The lovely painting depicts a gnarly yet elegant peach tree festooned with flower buds and open blossoms.
The calligraphy on the back reads something like: ‘the fragrance of small peach blossoms in spring’
