This delicate cup and saucer, made in Gotha, Germany between 1785 and 1799, is a fine example of 18th-century porcelain. The cup and saucer are decorated with a charming motif of a cherub seated on a cloud, painted in a delicate shade of pink. The intricate details, such as the gold trim and floral patterns, add to the exquisite charm of the piece. This set, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the period.
