Cup with flowers c. 1849 - 1870

This delicate porcelain cup, produced by the Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur between 1849 and 1870, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of German porcelain. The cup, adorned with a simple yet elegant floral motif, displays delicate hand-painted blossoms in shades of pink, orange, and purple. Its understated design and small size suggest it was intended for intimate tea or coffee rituals. Now residing in the Rijksmuseum, this cup exemplifies the artistry and refinement of European porcelain production during the 19th century.
