Chocolate cup with cover and saucer 1780 - 1790

This chocolate cup and saucer, crafted by Crown Derby in the late 18th century, is a beautiful example of English porcelain. The delicate floral designs painted in pink, blue, and green are accented with gilded details and a bold blue and gold border. The cup's lid, with its delicate handle, adds a touch of elegance to the piece. This set, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of English porcelain production during this period.
