AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

• Style: Neoclassical / Empire style (dating from the early-to-mid 19th century, circa 1810–1830s).
• Design Elements: Features a prominent pedestal foot, a high scroll or figural handle, rich interior gilding, and multiple painted landscape/scenic reserves (medallions) set against a dark cobalt field with golden vine, scroll, or leaf accents.
• Origin/Maker: Commonly attributed to Old Paris (Paris porcelain factories, such as Dihl et Guérhard, Schoelcher, or related French/European makers of the Napoleonic and restoration periods), though similar neoclassical styles were also produced by manufactories like Gardner in Russia or Sevres-style ateliers.

The cup is in perfect condition (9 cm high and 9 cm large) and saucer (diameter 14 cm) has a star crack on the bottom but generally in good condition.
