Antique Gilt Porcelain Cup with Applied Floral Medallion
This striking antique porcelain cup is richly decorated with an opulent raised floral medallion on the front, making it a beautiful stand-alone display piece. The body of the cup is vertically ribbed and finished in a soft white ground with a warm golden wash, giving it a luminous, slightly mottled appearance that speaks to its age and hand-finished character. The front is adorned with a dramatic applied flower and leaf motif in high relief, accented with textured gilt beads and delicate white enamel dots that trail around the cup like garlands. A scalloped rim and a graceful, looped handle complete the romantic silhouette. The interior also shows a golden wash, adding depth and richness when viewed from above. This cup is best suited for decorative use—display it in a china cabinet, on a vanity, or as part of a Victorian-inspired vignette. Its ornate detailing and charming wear make it a lovely choice for collectors of unique, unmarked antique porcelain.
