This 18th-century teacup, part of a six-piece service, was created at the Meissen Manufactory in Germany, known for its exquisite porcelain. The cup's white background is adorned with intricate gold-leaf designs, including stylized floral motifs and a bird, showcasing the artistry of the period. The piece exemplifies the high demand for fine porcelain during the early 18th century and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Meissen's craftsmanship.
