Cup from a tea service for twelve 1807 - 1808

This porcelain cup, crafted by Christophe-Ferdinand Caron between 1807 and 1808, is part of a twelve-piece tea service. The cup features a delicate depiction of a bird of prey, likely an eagle, with its young in a forest setting. The scene is painted in a naturalistic style with a focus on detail, characteristic of Caron's work. The cup's gilded rim and base enhance its elegance, making it a beautiful example of early 19th-century French porcelain.
