Cup 1775 - 1785

This porcelain cup, produced by the Fulda Pottery and Porcelain Manufactory between 1775 and 1785, is a fine example of 18th-century German ceramics. The cup's simple, elegant form is enhanced by a delicate floral design and a central silhouette portrait, likely of a prominent figure of the time. The piece's delicate details and refined execution speak to the skill of the Fulda workshop, which was renowned for its high-quality porcelain production. This cup, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the decorative arts of the late 18th century and the enduring appeal of handcrafted porcelain.
