Kop van porselein (Loosdrecht) met decor van bloesemtakken in Kakiemon-stijl. 1775 - 1785

This porcelain cup, produced in Loosdrecht between 1775 and 1785, is a fine example of Dutch Kakiemon-style porcelain. The delicate, hand-painted floral design, featuring blooming branches and leaves, is characteristic of this style, which was inspired by imported Japanese porcelain. The cup's small size, measuring just 7.1 cm in diameter, suggests it was intended for tea or coffee, reflecting the growing popularity of these beverages in the Netherlands during this period. The cup, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and artistic influence that characterized Dutch porcelain production in the 18th century.
