Beaker 1760 - 1770

This "Beaker" is a piece of Italian porcelain made in the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory between 1760 and 1770. The beaker features hand-painted floral designs, and it stands three inches tall. While the specific artist is unknown, the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory produced decorative objects for a wide audience and contributed to the development of Italian porcelain in the 18th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City holds this delicate piece of Italian decorative art.
