Cup 1735 - 1755

This Meissen porcelain cup, produced between 1735 and 1755, exemplifies the manufactory's skill in replicating Chinese porcelain. Its delicate, floral design in underglaze blue and white, reminiscent of the Kangxi period, reflects the European fascination with Eastern aesthetics during the Rococo era. The Meissen Manufactory, founded in Germany in 1710, became renowned for its high-quality porcelain and innovative designs. Today, the cup resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
