Beaker and saucer 1720 - 1727

This delicate porcelain beaker and saucer, created by the Vezzi Factory in Italy between 1720 and 1727, is a prime example of early 18th century Italian porcelain production. The piece features a simple yet elegant design of black floral motifs on a white ground, demonstrating the factory's skilled use of underglaze painting. Today, the beaker and saucer are housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where art enthusiasts can appreciate its artistry and historical significance.
