Cup (part of a service) 1765 - 1775

This porcelain cup, part of a larger tea service, is decorated with a charming depiction of a bird perched on a branch amidst delicate floral blooms, executed in black and white. Produced by the Frankenthal Porcelain Manufactory in Germany between 1765 and 1775, this piece embodies the elegant and refined style of the Rococo era. The intricate details and delicate composition of the design showcase the skill of the artisans who crafted it. The cup, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, stands as a testament to the enduring artistry of the Frankenthal factory and the enduring allure of European porcelain.
