This porcelain cup and saucer, produced by the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory around 1805-1810, features a distinctive Egyptian-inspired design. The cup, formed in the shape of a ram's horn, and the saucer are adorned with intricate gilded patterns and stylized figures. The use of Egyptian motifs, a popular trend in European art and design at the time, reflects the fascination with ancient civilizations. This piece is a testament to the Meissen manufactory’s mastery of porcelain production and artistic innovation.
