This Meissen porcelain cup and saucer, created between 1745 and 1765, showcases the artistry of the famed Meissen Manufactory. The cup is adorned with a charming landscape scene depicting a town with buildings, trees, and a river, executed in delicate polychrome enamels. The rim is highlighted with a gilded border, adding a touch of elegance. The saucer, similarly decorated, complements the cup, forming a delightful set for the enjoyment of tea or coffee. This exquisite example of European porcelain exemplifies the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the 18th century.
