Cup and Saucer 1793

This cup and saucer set, created in 1793 by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, is a fine example of French porcelain. The set is decorated with a central medallion depicting a still life of flowers and fruit, set against a deep purple ground. The intricate gold gilt trim adds a touch of luxury and grandeur, characteristic of the Sèvres factory's reputation for producing high-quality porcelain for the French aristocracy. The delicate floral and fruit motifs evoke the aesthetics of the Rococo era, while the bold, colorful design hints at the emerging Neoclassical trends of the late 18th century. The set is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Sèvres factory, demonstrating the high standards of porcelain production in France during this period.
