Articles
An Empire-style polychrome porcelain egg cup on a foot, decorated with a naturalistic depiction of a proud standing rooster accompanied by several hens pecking in a farmyard, with a green-turquoise background on the foot and border enhanced with fine gold friezes featuring a pattern of small stylized crosses, dating from the 19th century.
This egg cup is in good condition, with a beautiful quality of decoration.
Note: old small chips on the collar which have been subsequently regilded (very barely visible in reality), slight wear of time, see photos.
