Cup (part of a service) 1765 - 1775

This porcelain cup, part of a tea set produced by the Frankenthal Porcelain Manufactory between 1765 and 1775, is a fine example of 18th-century European porcelain. Decorated with a delicate black and white design featuring a bird perched on a branch amidst foliage, the cup demonstrates the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of the Frankenthal factory. This cup, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring beauty and functionality of 18th-century European porcelain.
