Cup and Saucer 1876

This cup and saucer, created by the Glasgow Pottery Company in 1876, is a fine example of 19th-century decorative ceramics. The set is adorned with a black and white illustration of a scene featuring figures, likely a historical or allegorical event, set within a circular motif. The cup is pale yellow with a gold rim, while the saucer is white with a faint yellow hue. The Glasgow Pottery Company was known for its high-quality ceramics, and this cup and saucer showcases their craftsmanship. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this piece serves as a reminder of the elegance and artistry of everyday objects from the Victorian era.
