Cup 1848 - 1856

This cup and saucer, made by Charles Cartlidge and Company between 1848 and 1856, showcases the elegance of 19th-century English porcelain. The delicate floral design, painted in soft hues of pink, blue, and yellow, is enhanced by the intricate gold gilding on the edges of the cup and saucer. This piece is a prime example of the decorative arts of the Victorian era, reflecting a taste for intricate details and a refined aesthetic. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
