Ritas Bazaar has dated this Kpm Porcelain Cabinet Cup to the 19th Century.
Produced during the Biedermeier period, the set combines finely painted landscape miniatures with richly tooled gilding characteristic of high-quality Berlin cabinet porcelain from the first half of the 19th century. High-quality cabinet porcelain was occasionally produced without factory marks.
Both pieces are decorated with finely hand-painted polychrome enamel landscapes depicting an idealised German countryside.
The landscape reserves are enclosed within a refined tooled gilt border on a crisp white ground. The decoration is divided into four symmetrical sections by stylised bellflower or lotus-bud motifs with C-scroll volutes, alternating with feathered palmettes and delicate botanical sprays executed in burnished gold.
The undersides retain their unglazed foot rims, with expected light shelf wear and minor firing characteristics consistent with early 19th-century porcelain production.
