Cup with flower sprays c. 1790

This delicate porcelain teacup and saucer, created by the Leperre-Durot factory around 1790, showcases the artistry of 18th-century European ceramics. The simple yet elegant design features delicate sprays of blue flowers and green leaves, accented by a fine gold trim, against a pristine white background. The small size of the cup and saucer suggests it was intended for individual use, reflecting the refined tea-drinking culture of the time. The delicate floral motif and gold accents speak to the beauty and refinement associated with porcelain, making this piece a charming example of decorative arts from the late 18th century.
