Feeding Cup c. 1760

This "Feeding Cup" from the 18th century is a charming example of utilitarian ceramics. The cup, decorated with cobalt blue floral motifs, features a spout for pouring and a cut-out section for easy feeding. The design reflects the popular "blue and white" style, which was inspired by Chinese porcelain. The cup's small size and practical design suggest its use in feeding infants or invalids. This piece is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, showcasing the history and evolution of ceramics.
