About the Item
Porcelain cup decorated with a scene depicting Erigone lying down on a cheetah skin and eating grapes. In Greek mythology, Dionysus (also known as Bacchus) decided to seduce the beautiful Erigone by transforming himself into a cluster of grapes. In this scene, she is holding the thyrse, a symbol of Bacchanalia. This erotic scene is displayed on the front of the cup, and the other half is decorated with gilded, flowering branches on a blue background. The handle is gilded, and the saucer is adorned with a frieze of trophies. Marked: ZI Berlin. Light wear to the gilding,

- Meissen Porcelain Dinner Service, 189 PiecesBy Meissen PorcelainLocated in New Orleans, LAComprising an incredible 189 pieces, this impressive Meissen porcelain dinner service is an exceptional example of the firm's prized dinnerware. The bodies are crafted in the New Brandenstein relief pattern designed by Johann Friedrich Eberlein in 1744, which gives this service a distinct Rococo feel. The hand-painted enamel detailing is known as the Flowers and Insects motif and is executed with stunning vibrancy and intricacy. Since each piece is executed entirely by hand, no two pieces bear the exact same adornments.
Similar, single dining pieces are featured in Meissen Domestic Porcelain by Günther Sterba, 1991, figures 83 through 86.
The pieces bear the Meissen blue crossed swords that date this service between 1850/60-1924.
