Austria – Viennese Style – Cobalt-Blue Porcelain Tripod Cup and Saucer with Gold Decoration – 19th Century An elegant tripod cup accompanied by its porcelain saucer with a cobalt-blue background, richly decorated with foliage, arabesques, and gilded floral motifs. The cup rests on three legs shaped like gilded lion’s paws and features a curving handle accented with gold. It is adorned with a hand-painted oval medallion depicting the portrait of a young woman. The matching saucer features a sumptuous gilded design on a deep blue background, with a central white medallion surrounded by delicate floral ornaments. A blue mark beneath the saucer resembles the Bindenschild, also known as the Vienna Shield mark, associated with the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in Vienna. Since this mark was also used by other manufacturers, its attribution to Viennese production remains to be confirmed. Condition: Appears to be in good overall condition, with slight signs of use and age, and some wear to the gilding. Dimensions and weight: Cup H. 8 cm – Saucer Ø 14.5 cm – Total weight 0.250 kg.
