Cup and saucer 1715 - 1735

This Meissen porcelain cup and saucer, dating from 1715 to 1735, is a fine example of early European porcelain production. The white ground is decorated with a delicate gold design, featuring a chinoiserie scene of figures and flora. This style, known as "Indianische Blumen" or "Indian Flowers," was popular in the early 18th century and reflects the fascination with Asian art and culture in Europe at the time. The cup and saucer are now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
