Coffee Cup and Saucer 1885

This porcelain cup and saucer, created by the Union Porcelain Works in 1885, showcases a delicate design with a gold rim and an intricate pattern of green leaves. The cup and saucer are decorated with a motif of stylized leaves and gilded accents, echoing the Art Nouveau style that was gaining popularity at the time. The piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of American ceramics in the late 19th century.
