This is a white cup and saucer with bold blue patterns. The cup has a handle on the right side, and the saucer sits underneath. The design on both pieces includes sharp white lines and shapes against a dark blue background. The patterns look like they were drawn carefully, with some areas filled with tiny lines. This style is called cross-hatching, which builds up dark tones using layers of lines. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with simple lines.
