This 18th-century teacup saucer, crafted by Loosdrecht, showcases a delicate depiction of a woman in a rural setting. The saucer features a delicate pink and gold border, echoing the elegant taste of the Rococo period. The scene is painted in soft brown tones, highlighting the figure's graceful pose and the serene landscape. This saucer, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the refined aesthetics of 18th-century Dutch porcelain production.
Comments
Tea services represented a significant part of the production of the Loosdrecht porcelain factory. On display here are a teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl along with other less familiar parts of a tea service, such as a slop bowl, which is used to rinse and warm the cups between two ‘courses’, and a drip catcher (pattipan), which catches the drips from the spout of the teapot.
