Description
Hard-paste porcelain decorated underglaze in blue, overglaze in puce camaieu enamel, and gilded.
Hard-paste porcelain with tin-glaze, decorated with blue borders, painting in puce camaieu enamel, and gilding. The cup has a deeply recessed base, curved, sides, and double entwined slender twig handle with four leaf terminals. It has a border of underglaze blue at the top and bottom, between which is a continuous landscape with buildings painted in puce camaieu. There is a dentilated gilt band round the rim, and a plain band round the footrim. Above and below the landscape, over the edges of the blue borders there is a gilt band with pairs of scrolls and pendants, and over the ground, pairs of simplified bell flowers separated by dots. Inside there is a central gold floral sprig. The saucer is decorated internally with a blue border surrounding a crimson landscape with a church on the right. The inner border is ensuite with the cup, and round the rim there are groups of three C scrolls with pendants of dots between them.

The use of crimson monochrome landscapes on Doccia porcelain can be traced back to the influence of Du Paquier's Vienna porcelain on its early tablewares in the 1740s and 1750s. The landscapes are reminiscent of prints by Giuliano Giampiccoli (1698-1759) after Marco Ricci (1676-1730).
