Cup with insects, flower sprays and grapevines c. 1797 - 1798

This small, delicately crafted porcelain cup, created by Rue Thiroux Parijs around 1797-1798, is a beautiful example of 18th-century European decorative arts. The cup is adorned with a delicate floral pattern and realistic depictions of butterflies and beetles, painted in vibrant colors, set against a pristine white background. The cup's simple yet elegant design highlights the beauty of nature, making it a perfect addition to any collection of European ceramics. The cup is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, where it is treasured for its artistry and historical significance.
