This delicate porcelain cup and saucer, crafted by the Frankenthal Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1765, exemplifies the elegant artistry of 18th-century European ceramics. The set features a graceful, rounded cup with a delicate handle and a matching saucer adorned with intricate floral patterns and gold accents, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of the period. The delicate pink and yellow flowers on a white ground, combined with the intricate gold designs, create a sense of refined beauty that was highly sought after by European aristocracy during the Rococo period. The cup and saucer, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stand as testament to the enduring legacy of European porcelain making.
