This cup and saucer set, created by the Kloster-Veilsdorf Porcelain Manufactory between 1765 and 1775, exemplifies the delicate artistry of 18th-century European porcelain. Both pieces feature hand-painted scenes of figures in idyllic landscapes. The saucer, with its single figure standing beneath a leafy tree, offers a tranquil visual, while the cup depicts a group of figures interacting in a natural setting. These charming vignettes were popular motifs during this period, reflecting a taste for the pastoral and a fascination with daily life. The set is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the Kloster-Veilsdorf manufactory and its contribution to the history of European porcelain.
