Kakiemon Cup & Saucer

This is superb cup and saucer made by Meissen in about 1740. It is hand painted in the Kakiemon style with flowering chrysanthemum branches growing from hedges, with a yellow Pheonix in flight with blue wings and red tail feathers. Nice brown trim to the rims. Kakiemon colors of this period are some of my favorites and this is one superb design! The cup and saucer are in perfect condition with a very very minor amount of wear. Each piece is marked underneath with the crossed swords mark as shown as well as impressed numbers. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
