Cup and saucer 1803 - 1810

This cup and saucer, created by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory between 1803 and 1810, exemplifies the craftsmanship of European porcelain production. The delicate porcelain, adorned with gold accents, showcases a refined aesthetic. The inscription "Cupid et Eurydice" on the saucer hints at the classical subject matter depicted on the cup, likely a scene from the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the artistry and sophistication of 19th-century European porcelain.
