This miniature porcelain seal depicts Cupid, the Roman god of love, holding a quiver of arrows. The seal was made by the Derby Porcelain Manufactory in England between 1765 and 1775. It is a small, delicate piece that showcases the skill of the Derby porcelain makers. This seal, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a wonderful example of 18th-century English porcelain craftsmanship.
