Cup and saucer 1760 - 1765

This delicate cup and saucer, crafted by the renowned Chantilly porcelain factory between 1760 and 1765, showcases the artistry of 18th-century French ceramics. The white porcelain, a hallmark of Chantilly's production, is adorned with hand-painted floral motifs and realistic depictions of birds, all framed by a delicate gold trim. This exquisite set, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the elegance and sophistication of French porcelain during the Rococo period.
