Cup from a tea service for twelve 1807 - 1808

This porcelain cup, part of a 12-piece tea service, was created by Christophe-Ferdinand Caron between 1807 and 1808. It is a beautiful example of French porcelain, featuring a hand-painted scene of a fox and a stork in a landscape. The cup is gilded and features a delicate, elegant form. The painting is a testament to Caron’s skill and the high quality of craftsmanship that defined French porcelain of the early 19th century. The cup is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
