Cup from a Chocolatiére Set 1901 - 1902

This cup, part of a larger set designed for serving chocolate, was created by Maurice Dufrène between 1901-1902. The Art Nouveau style is evident in the delicate floral designs and organic curves of the silver-trimmed porcelain. It's a prime example of the movement's emphasis on natural forms and elegant craftsmanship. This cup is part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
