Tea service for two people (tête-à-tête) c. 1778 - 1782

This delicate porcelain saucer is a fine example of Dutch decorative arts from the late 18th century. Created by the Loosdrecht factory, this "Tea service for two people (tête-à-tête)" features a central floral bouquet of roses, tulips, and other blossoms, painted in vibrant hues against a white background. The saucer is edged with a gold trim, adding to its refined appearance. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of Dutch porcelain production during this period.
