A Soft-Paste Sèvres Porcelain Cup & Saucer from Pavlovsk, circa 1780

This gobelet Litron et soucoupe is of the second size and has a very bold pattern of neo-classical gilding over the blue (bleu nouveau) ground colour.  The painted scenes are amusing, showing a child’s toy on the saucer of a wooden doll neatly bandaged which has inspired the mischievous child depicted on the saucer as she tries to bandage the family pet who is becoming highly frustrated.
