Couldn't load pickup availability
A refined example of late 18th-century German porcelain craftsmanship from Meissen's Dot Period (circa 1763–1774). This hard-paste cup features hand-painted Deutsche Blumen decoration: a vibrant magenta garden rose with leaves and buds on the exterior, and a small orange flower spray in the interior well. The angular, geometric handle is a hallmark of early Neoclassical design.
Approx. size: ~2 in tall × 4 in wide
Condition: Vintage wear consistent with age; minor scattered scratches and faint handling marks visible on the glaze. Sold as found — please see all photos.
Marked underside with the underglaze cobalt blue Meissen Crossed Swords mark with the characteristic dot between the hilts, plus an adjacent painter's mark.
