Cup and saucer 1760 - 1770

This Meissen porcelain cup and saucer, dating from 1760-1770, is a fine example of European decorative arts. The cup and saucer feature delicate black-and-white illustrations, a common stylistic choice for Meissen porcelain. The saucer depicts a seated figure in a landscape setting, while the cup shows a similar scene with a tree. These designs, characteristic of the Rococo period, reflect the elegance and refinement of the era. The cup and saucer, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offer a glimpse into the artistry and aesthetics of 18th-century European culture.
