Kop zonder oor, veelkleurig beschilderd met chinoiserieën en losse bloemtakken langs de randen c. 1765 - 1770

This porcelain teacup, produced by the Weesper porseleinfabriek in the Netherlands, dates from around 1765-1770. The cup is decorated in the Chinoiserie style, featuring a figure in traditional Chinese clothing and an ornate floral design. This trend of imitating Chinese styles was very popular in Europe during the 18th century. The delicate floral patterns and rich colors on this small teacup demonstrate the craftsmanship of the Weesper porseleinfabriek. The use of chinoiserie in European ceramics is a fascinating example of cultural exchange in the 18th century.
