Cup (part of a service) 1743 - 1759

This cup, part of a larger service, was made at the Capodimonte Porcelain Manufactory in Naples, Italy, between 1743 and 1759. The cup is decorated with a scene of two men, one on horseback, in an outdoor setting, painted in soft colors and delicate strokes. The handle is a distinctive feature, shaped with a unique, stylized design. This piece exemplifies the Rococo style popular in the 18th century, known for its elegance and decorative details. The cup’s design is testament to the technical skill and artistry of the Capodimonte Manufactory, which produced some of the finest porcelain of its time.
