Antique 18thC Meissen Porcelain Prunus Beaker Cup & Saucer Porzellan Tasse

Description

For sale is
a really nice early beaker type chocolate cup and saucer made by Meissen in about 1740. The set is decorated with the raised prunus blossom decoration on the underside of the saucer and around the sides of the cup and are otherwise left plain white to show of their porcelain - white was more treasured than painted back then! The handle of the cup is superb and a typical early shape! Both the cup & saucer are in great condition with some minor chipping to the inside edge of the foot on the cup under side. A couple of minor inclusions to the inside bottom of the cup from when it was made. Both pieces are marked with the under glaze blue crossed swords underneath as shown. The cup is a touch earlier and does not have an impressed number yet just the letter D while the saucer has an impressed 63 as shown and is a touch later than the cup so the set dates right around 1740. The saucer is 5.25 inches in diameter and 1.125 inches tall. The cup is 2.75 inches tall and has a diameter 2.75 inches.
