Description: | Cup, one of a pair of miniature, toy, cups and saucers of porcelain, manufactured by Meissen but sold as defective to decorators. The cups have a rose coloured ground on the outside with an idyllic pastoral courting scene painted in the rococo style. The inside of the cups are white as are the handles. The rims and sides of the handles are decorated with gilt and there are eight decorative gilt dots on the middle of the handles. The saucers also have a rose ground on the obverse with a large painted panel on a white glazed ground in the centre and in the same style on the cups. The panel is edged with a decorative gilt border. The reverse of the saucer is glazed in white. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.decorativeart&design.2779 | Go to resource |
