Theekop, deel van koffie- en theeservies met beschildering met figuren in rivierenlandschap in bietenrood before 1778

This teacup, part of a coffee and tea service, is a prime example of Dutch Delftware. Created before 1778 in Loosdrecht, the piece is decorated with a delicate purple landscape scene. This intricate painting depicts figures amidst a river landscape, showcasing the artistic skill of the era. The cup's simple, rounded form and subtle color palette are characteristic of Dutch 18th-century ceramics, reflecting the refined taste of the time. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the teacup stands as a testament to the enduring artistry of Dutch Delftware.
