Part of a tea service c. 1774 - 1778

This delicate porcelain teacup, part of a larger service, was created in the Netherlands by the Loosdrecht workshop between 1774 and 1778. The cup's design features a charming scene of a man fishing, painted in a vibrant purple hue against a white background. The rim is accented with a thin line of gold, adding a touch of elegance to the simple design. This cup is a fine example of Dutch Delftware, a tradition that flourished in the 18th century, known for its intricate designs and playful depiction of everyday life.
