Doccia White Cup & Saucer #4

This is another cup and saucer made by Doccia in the late 18th century. I just bought an entire collection of this style just in case you were wondering! They are quite rare! This is what most people refer to this decoration as Capodimonte style with the mythological figures in relief. I don't believe Capodimonte ever actually made this style but Doccia did and made it famous for sure! The cup has lots of figural scenes on it including trees, lots of people, a man playing the flute and two oxen. The saucer is decorated with scroll work and garlands. All this is done in relief and is very detailed. The set is in good condition with some of their typical manufacturing flaws of this period including small cracks that are mostly under the glaze, minor black spots and inclusions. This cup has a small restoration to the top rim that has turned yellow and a 1 inch hairline plus a small chip to the footring. The saucer is fine. The handle is supposed to simulate twisted branches and was used during the same time the coral type handle was used. The cup is marked with the crown over N mark in underglaze blue as is the saucer. The cup stands 3 inches tall and 2.875 inches in diameter. The saucer is 0.75 inches tall and 5.75 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
