Cup (part of a service) 1765 - 1775

This delicate porcelain cup, crafted by the Frankenthal Porcelain Manufactory between 1765 and 1775, showcases a charming scene of two birds perched on a branch. The cup, part of a larger service, displays a fine example of the Rococo style, known for its elegant and whimsical motifs. The intricate details of the birds and the delicate floral pattern, executed in blue and white, add to the cup's aesthetic appeal. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this cup represents the high quality and artistry of 18th-century European porcelain production.
