Ansbach Scenic Cup & Saucer

This is a nice cup and saucer set made by Ansbach around 1765. Each piece is hand painted with an amazing polychrome scene and three tiny puce flowers including one on the inside of the cup. Nice handle shape typical for this maker. The scenes are of good quality and pieces like this are rather hard to find from this maker! Ansbach started making porcelain around 1758 and the factory flourished from 1758 through 1777 after which it closed somewhere around 1860. The factory was already in private hands since 1807. The cup and saucer are bothmarked with the underglaze blue A mark underneath (faint but they are there) as well as an incised 3 (or something like that) on the saucer. The cup is 1.75 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter. The saucer is 1.125 inches tall and 5.25 inches in diameter. They are in great condition with some very very minor wear and firing flaws including a firing crack to the cup rim above the scene as shown - this is from when it was made not later.
