Porcelaine de Dresde - Helena Wolfsohn - Centrepiece - Shellfish - Earthenware

Cup with floral decoration in Saxon porcelain.

Helena Wolfsohn Studio in Dresden in the second half of the 19th century

Magnificent festooned serving cup in the shape of a stylized shell in German Saxon porcelain.

The piece features a splendid central floral design, entirely hand-painted, depicting tulips and spring flowers in violet, ochre, and pink tones.

The beaded reliefs follow the natural shape of a shell and terminate with an elegant volute handle gilded with gold.
The festooned rim is accented by a delicate combed frieze and a pattern of gilded lattice.
Under the base lies the studio's signature mark painted in blue: the cursive letter "D" surmounted by a five-point ducal crown.
