Excellent example of old Viennese porcelain painting:
Cylindrical cup with rich gilding: large oval reserve with finely painted polychrome mythological scene, framed by a gold frame with gold impasto decoration, surrounding gold bands and alternating reserves with impasto arabesque painting in gold on a dark purple background, in between trompe l'oeil decoration in light blue tones on a gold background, edges and inside of cup fully gilded, angular gilded J-shaped handle with leaf and console ends.
The saucer has a high, raised rim and a smooth surface reflecting the decoration of the cup: surrounding reserves with impasto arabesque painting in gold on a dark purple background, interspersed with trompe l'oeil decoration in light blue tones on a gold background, in the centre a round reserve with a finely painted polychrome mythological scene depicting the 'Abduction of Persephone'.

Early Meissen Rococo Group
Love and Indulgence
by J.C. Schönheit, Ca 1840
By Johann Carl Schoenheit, Meissen Porcelain
Located in Vienna, AT
Exceptional Meissen porcelain genre group:
Young mother seated on a magnificent Louis XVI-style armchair, her left foot set down on a low stool, a boy lying on his stomach on her left thigh, his white shirt slipped up to reveal his bare buttocks, which the mother has probably just struck with the cane in her left hand, to her right a girl in a dress and hat decorated with feathers, clasping her mother's arm so that she can no longer strike the boy.
The group is based on an oval pedestal with gold heightened frieze decoration on the sides.
Particularly elaborate, detailed design and staffage.
This model was based on drawings by Johann Eleazar Zeissig, known as 'Schenau' (1737-1806).
Designed by JOHANN CARL SCHÖNHEIT (1730 - 1805) in 1788
started working as an apprentice in the Meissen factory in 1741 and has been in a responsible position since 1768. For more than 20 years, Schönheit was an employee of both J.J. Kändler as well as from M.V. Acier, who entered the Meissen factory in 1762. After Kändler's death in 1775, Schönheit was head of the model department until 1794.
