Cup with a lozenge pattern formed by stripes and dots c. 1775 - 1790

This porcelain cup, dating from 1775 to 1790, is a fine example of 18th century French craftsmanship, attributed to the artist Clignancourt. The cup showcases a repeating geometric pattern of blue and green stripes and dots, forming a lozenge pattern, all delicately painted on a white porcelain ground. The delicate detail and the gold-gilded rim are typical of the period, reflecting a refined aesthetic favored by the French elite. The cup's small size, measuring 5.9 cm in height, suggests it was intended for individual use, likely as part of a tea or coffee service. The simple elegance of the design and the quality of the craftsmanship elevate this cup to a piece of decorative art, reflecting the artistry and aesthetic sensibilities of the time.
