Cup with a bird on a branch in a medallion c. 1800 - 1810

This delicate porcelain cup, crafted by the Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur around 1800-1810, exemplifies the refined aesthetic of European decorative arts. The cup features a light green background and is decorated with a gilded rim and a central medallion showcasing a bird perched on a branch. The cup's elegant form and intricate detailing are characteristic of the Neoclassical style that flourished in this period, reflecting the renewed interest in classical Greek and Roman art and design. Currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, this piece is a testament to the artistry and technical mastery of German porcelain production during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
