Antique Sevres 19thC Miniature Hand-Painted Porcelain Cup

A exquisite miniature porcelain cup from the renowned Sèvres manufactory, standing just 4cm tall. This 19th-century treasure showcases a rich cobalt blue ground adorned with hand-gilded acanthus and laurel borders framing an enchanting pastoral scene. A young shepherd in period dress sits amid a landscape, playing a flute—rendered in fine hand-painted detail. The piece features a delicate white curved handle, gilt rim, and white glazed interior. A blue cursive maker's mark graces the base, characteristic of Continental European fine porcelain craftsmanship. A refined addition to any serious collectibles collection, capturing the elegance and artistry of late 19th-century French porcelain.
