Vienna coffee cup & saucer, profile silhouette, c.1790
Sold
Vienna coffee cup & saucer, the cup bearing a profile silhouette portrait of a gent within a tooled gold oval frame, a laurel wreath to the rim, the saucer with similar wreath and the inscription ‘unique et Perfait’. Underglaze blue shield mark, circa 1790
| Condition | minor wear to saucer only |
|---|---|
| Size | saucer 13cm |
| References | The inscription reads ‘Unique and Perfect’: this seems rather a high opinion of the gent depicted! It is perhaps a case of mistaken identity; this would have been part of a coffee set with different members of the family on each piece; perhaps the saucer was originally intended for his wife or child! |
