Cup and Saucer c. 1815

This delicate cup and saucer, produced by the Wedgwood Manufactory around 1815, is a fine example of English porcelain from the early 19th century. The set features a hand-painted landscape scene on both pieces, showcasing a pastoral setting with a picturesque building and lush greenery. The delicate brushstrokes and fine detailing of the scene, executed in muted tones, create a sense of tranquility and evoke a feeling of romanticism. The golden rim adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. This cup and saucer, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Wedgwood Manufactory.
