Cup 1785 - 1795

This cup and saucer, produced by the Caughley Factory in England between 1785 and 1795, showcases the elegant style of 18th-century English porcelain. The delicate floral motifs in gold, accented by a deep blue border, are a hallmark of the Caughley Factory's work. The cup's fluted form and saucer's scalloped rim contribute to the overall sense of refinement, making this piece a charming example of English decorative arts. This set, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic preferences of the era.
