Cup and saucer 1780 - 1790

This cup and saucer, crafted by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory between 1780-1790, is a stunning example of European porcelain artistry. The delicate white porcelain is adorned with a hand-painted scene featuring a monument and two figures in a verdant landscape. The intricate gold details on the rim of the saucer and cup add an element of elegance and refinement. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory during the late 18th century.
