Doccia White Cup & Saucer #7

This is another cup and saucer made by Doccia in the late 18th century. I just bought an entire collection of this style design just in case you were wondering! They are quite rare! This is what most people refer to 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 and what looks like a lady using a gardenhoe. The saucer is decorated with scroll work and garlands. All this is done in relief and is very detailed. The set is in OK 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. The cup has a large chip reglued, a chipped area on the top rim that seems to have resulted from a manufacturing flaw and a hairline. It sounds worse than it is and still displays quite nicely! 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 (very fainlty) and the saucer is marked the same way. 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.
