This 18th-century porcelain cup, made by the Meissen Manufactory in Germany, is a prime example of the “arcanum” or secret formula for producing hard-paste porcelain, a discovery that revolutionized the ceramic world. Decorated with a chinoiserie motif, a popular theme at the time, the cup displays an intricate design of silhouetted figures within a garden setting, demonstrating the skill of the Meissen artists. The cup’s fluted body and delicate handles add to its elegance, making it a fine example of early European porcelain craftsmanship.
