AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant pair of decorative porcelain cups, richly adorned with a painted design in the style of Japanese Imari porcelain. The walls are decorated with stylized floral compositions in characteristic colors — cobalt blue, iron red, with accents of green and gold — finely executed and harmoniously distributed.

Each cup is highlighted by a finely chiseled gilded bronze mount, featuring a wide pierced rim, two side handles with vegetal scrolls, and a pierced base resting on curved feet. The quality of the chasing and the richness of the gilding attest to meticulous decorative work, typical of European productions from the Japonism period.

Overall in very good condition. Well-preserved porcelain, vibrant and clearly legible decoration. Slight signs of use consistent with age. No cracks, chips, or visible restorations.
