Description:

Height 6 cm.
Diameter of the saucer 13 cm.
Fine neoclassical cup from German KPM, Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur.

KPM was founded in 1751 by Wilhelm Caspar Wegely and in 1763 taken over by Frederik the Great, King of Prussia, giving it its royal name, a name the factory retained until 1918 when the German monarchy was abolished and the factory changed its name to Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur . The factory was rebuilt after World War II and today still produces porcelain outside Berlin.

The cup is decorated in the rare sepia technique, where the whole decoration is tones of the same color. The upper cup is decorated with an oval cartouche in which yard by trees, a couple on the left side and sheeps in the foreground, at the back is a church. This is surrounded by symmetrical decorations in gold.
The saucer is decorated with two men with sticks walking along a river, where a yard is seen on the left side, this is surrounded by similar symmetrical decorations as on the cup, in gold.

The set is factory marked with KPM's scepter with a line underneath, which can date this to the end of the 1700s.

The cup is in very fine condition, only a slight wear on the upper gold edge.
The saucer has an old repair and a little wear on the decoration.

The cup originates from a private Danish collection of 18th and 19th century porcelain.

Saucer is included in the price.
