Cup and Saucer c. 1780

This porcelain cup and saucer, created in the late 18th century by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, exemplifies the renowned French porcelain factory's artistic skill. The cup, decorated in a delicate floral pattern with a brown glaze, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Sèvres factory. The saucer, adorned with similar floral motifs in a silver-gilt design, complements the cup beautifully. The set is a testament to the enduring elegance of French porcelain, and a highlight of the The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
