This caudle cup, made in the late 18th century by the artist Loosdrecht, is a delicate porcelain piece adorned with a hand-painted scene depicting a young couple in a pastoral setting. The cup, standing at a height of 10.8 cm and with a diameter of 7.3 cm, features a graceful, trumpet-shaped body and a delicate, fluted base. The design, executed in muted colors, adds a touch of elegance to this charming cup, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
