Set of Two Cups and Saucers c. 1900

This is a cup and saucer created by Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat in the late 19th century. It is a prime example of Art Nouveau ceramics, known for its organic, flowing forms and intricate details. Dalpayrat's signature style is evident in the cup's unique, asymmetrical handle and the striking, free-flowing glaze that evokes natural textures. The intricate glaze, a mixture of browns, yellows, and greens, creates a vibrant and dynamic surface, reflecting the artistic trends of the era. This work is a testament to Dalpayrat's mastery of ceramic techniques and his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement.
