Saucer with a couple in a landscape c. 1765 - 1770

This saucer, produced by the Kaiserliche Porzellanmanufaktur in Vienna, Austria, around 1765-1770, is a fine example of 18th-century European porcelain. The saucer features a central scene depicting a couple in a landscape, painted in delicate colors and framed by an elaborate gold-gilt border. The deep blue ground, known as "bleu lapis," was a popular choice for porcelain during this period and adds a luxurious touch to the piece. The intricate details of the painting and the elegant border are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the Vienna porcelain factory.
