下面是十八世纪法国人制作的一个陶瓷耳杯，上面有一个寿桃，一个万字符，一只公鸡，一只喜鹊，十六只燕子，两枝牡丹花，一个满大大，一个满麻麻，和一个满格格。

Presented is a fine old French pottery/porcelain and metal covered urn, dating to the 18th century. The urn is done in a Chinese export porcelain inspired design, with two scenes of a rooster and three classically Chinese garbed figures. The lid of the urn has a finial in the form of a peach or other fruit on a leafy branch. The mouth of the urn has a finely engraved silverplate rim, while the foot is done in a vertically fluted or ribbed design. The decoration is all quite colorful and well done, painted by hand.
