C.678&A-1917\r\ngift: Mr M. Yeats Brown, C.M.G.\r\nThe tall slender cup is painted with an oriental figure while the saucer (which does not match it) is decorated with an Arcadian scene with a peasant woman in a landscape. The decoration with arabesques and scalloped edge cartouches is called “Saxony- style” in the Doccia documents because this motif was typical of Meissen. These types of decorations are often based on engravings made by artists in the Veneto region like Marco Ricci, Giuseppe Zais and Francesco Zuccarelli (D’AGLIANO 2005, p. 70-71); in particular, the sleeping peasant woman is probably derived from engravings with rural scenes by Giuseppe Zais. The shape of the handle which is usually called “alla napoletana” because it is an imitation of the type used at Capodimonte (see, for example, MUSELLA GUIDA 1993, p. 129-130, cat. 64-65), suggests a date for the cup of about 1770 (see also cat. 66); the saucer, on the other hand, on account of the type of scene that is represented, was probably made at least ten years later.
