Cup and Saucer c. 1780

This cup and saucer, created by the Nyon Porcelain Factory around 1780, showcases the delicate artistry of 18th-century European porcelain. The saucer features a central motif of a guitar, a sheet of music, and a feathered hat, all arranged within a circular frame adorned with floral garlands and a gilded latticework. The cup's design complements the saucer with similar floral details and a golden border. This exquisite set, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship associated with the Rococo period.
