Covered cup and saucer 1797 - 1803

This porcelain cup and saucer set, created by Anton Kothgasser between 1797 and 1803, exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of the late 18th century. The saucer features a painted scene with a man kneeling and reaching towards a flame, while a woman walks away. This detailed artwork, framed within a pink and gold border, is characteristic of Kothgasser's style. The cup is adorned with a different scene depicting a woman standing on the shore as a ship sails away. Both pieces demonstrate the artist's skill in depicting mythological scenes with meticulous detail.
