This delicate cup and saucer, dating from 1770 to 1780, was crafted by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory. This set, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the elegant style of 18th century porcelain. The fine white porcelain is adorned with delicate gray-scale floral motifs and landscapes, highlighting the craftsmanship of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory. The saucer, with its central motif of a country house, is a testament to the popular themes of pastoral life and idyllic landscapes during the 18th century.
