Cup and saucer 18th century

This 18th-century cup and saucer set, made by the Italian artist Castelli, features a charming landscape scene painted on the surface. The cup depicts a figure in a blue tunic walking through a verdant landscape. The saucer's design showcases a more expansive scene with trees, a classical column, and a mountainous vista. The delicate hand-painted details and vibrant colors are characteristic of the majolica style, a popular form of ceramic art in Italy during this period. The set is a lovely example of the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of Italian ceramic art in the 18th century.
