Cup and Saucer Gobelet Calabre et soucoupe Soft-paste porcelain cup and saucer, decorated with a bleu celeste ground, and reserves painted in enamels with landscapes, and gilding. Soft-paste porcelain decorated with a bleu celeste ground, painting in blue, several shades of green, yellow, greyish-pink, a little red, and several shades of brown enamels, and gilding. The cup curves upwards and outwards from the footring and almost vertically up to the rim, and has a loop handle. The saucer has deep curved sides, and a suspension hole in the footring. Both pieces have a bleu celeste ground with an almost heart-shaped reserve on the cup and a circular reserve on the saucer, each framed by elaborate gilding comprising rococo scrolls, and sprays of flowers and foliage. The reserve on the cup is painted with a landscape in which a man carrying a fishing rod is walking beside a stream. The reserve on the saucer is painted with a view of a river, spanned by a bridge, on the right-hand side of which is a large tree and some buildings including a tower. On the left there is a steep hill with buildings on the top. There is a band of gilding round the foot of the cup and dentilated bands round the rims of both cup and saucer. The handle has sprays of three oak leaves sprouting from its junction with the cup, lines down the sides, and on its back, three stylized leaf or flower motifs separated by spots and three smaller spots below. Sevres, France C.1768
