Cup 1725 - 1740

This delicate porcelain cup, created in Vienna between 1725 and 1740, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the era. The cup is adorned with a delicate floral pattern painted in soft pink and red hues, while the body features a pierced design resembling lacework. This pierced design, known as "jour" work, was a popular decorative element in 18th-century European ceramics. The cup, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the refined taste and technical skill of European porcelain production during the Rococo period.
