The lady in an orange and blue skirt with gold blouse, the gentleman in an orange coat and gold pants — another chapter of the Fragonard courtship, this time rendered on semi-porcelain by The Cronin China Company of Minerva, Ohio. The indented border and brushed gold rim frame the decal with quiet elegance.
