AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Manufacture: France
Era: 19th-20th centuries
Large broth cup (écuelle) with saucer in white porcelain decorated in polychrome with bouquets of flowers and phytomorphic garlands
Porcelain, hand-painted in polychrome enamels; relief-edged rim.
Measurements: saucer diameter 20 cm; cup height 9 cm; mouth diameter 16 cm
Hallmarks: Impressed letter "L" and small potter’s marks under the base of the cup.
Condition: Excellent overall condition. Minor, customary superficial wear to the showcase on the bottom of the saucer, compatible with age and use.
Item Description
Refined and elegant broth cup without handles, accompanied by its original matched saucer. The pair is distinguished by the purity of the white body and the lively profiling of the rims, enriched by a delicate ribbed relief molding that follows the perimeter of both elements.
The Cup:
With a hemispherical, outward-flaring body, it rests on a low ring foot. The exterior surface is masterfully painted with large asymmetric floral bouquets, featuring a large open rose in pale pink and yellow tones, tulips, anemones, and sprigs of smaller wildflowers, executed with vibrant painterly freedom and a rich color palette.
The Saucer:
Displays a deep cavetto outlined by a continuous vine garland with small green leaves, a motif echoing the same border on the rim and foot of the cup. At the center of the plate sits a coordinated floral bouquet, surrounded along the edge by smaller bunches arranged with studied asymmetry.
Under the base of the cup is present an impressed letter "L" embedded in the porcelain body, accompanied by small geometric potter’s marks—elements of fundamental importance for identifying the workshop’s craftspeople.
Historical-critical note
The elegant decoration of “flower bouquets” (inspired by the famous Deutsche Blumen of Meissen) reflects the great naturalistic vogue that dominated the major European courts at the turn between the 18th and 19th centuries.
