Porcelaine de Paris - Cup and saucer (2) - Tasse en porcelaine dure - XIXe Restauration - Locré - Fond Rose - Porcelain

Paris pink-ground hard-paste porcelain cup – Early 19th century, Restoration, Locré

Hard-paste porcelain cup, notable for its bright pink ground with a refreshing tone, a color quite rare. A refined frieze encircles the upper part: a finely striped background, punctuated by continuous dots and diamonds, enclosing a small stylized flower. The whole is highlighted by a gold rim, demonstrating very neat workmanship.

The form, less common, adds to the piece's charm: an elegantly flared silhouette toward the rim, narrowing at the base to form an inverted cone resting on a light footring. The overall harmony is supported by high-quality gilding.
