Cup from a tea service for twelve 1807 - 1808

This cup is part of a twelve-piece tea service created by Christophe-Ferdinand Caron between 1807 and 1808. The cup is made of porcelain with a white glaze and features a hand-painted scene of a wolf and a sheep in a landscape. The cup is gilded with gold at the rim, base, and handle. The cup is a fine example of Neoclassical style porcelain from the early 19th century, characterized by its delicate painting and elegant form. This piece is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
