Cup and saucer c. 1778 - 1782

This small saucer, dating from c. 1778-1782, showcases a vibrant purple bird standing on a small grassy knoll. The bird is the central focus of the design, with delicate brushstrokes capturing its details. The rim features a gilded and leafy patterned border adding a touch of elegance to the piece. This example of Delftware, made in Loosdrecht, is a fine example of decorative arts from the late 18th century.
