Cup and Saucer 1751

This porcelain cup and saucer, created in 1751 by Richard Chaffers & Company, showcases the elegance of 18th-century English tableware. The delicate, hand-painted designs depict scenes of couples enjoying leisure in a garden setting, a common motif in Rococo art, reflecting the era's focus on pleasure and refinement. The cup and saucer, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, are a testament to the skill and artistry of English porcelain makers in the 18th century.
