Two-handled beaker and saucer
Manufactory Meissen Manufactory German
Not on view
Two-handled beakers accompanied by saucers were usually used for drinking chocolate. This example was made at the Meissen factory, the first to produce hard-paste porcelain in Europe. The beaker and saucer were decorated in Augsburg, probably in the workshop of a family named Seuter. Independent porcelain painters, known as Hausmalers, often purchased undecorated Meissen porcelain and painted their own, sometimes quite distinctive, compositions and designs.
