Two German porcelain cups of military interest, c.1775-90, including a rare Ludwigsburg coffee cup
Two German porcelain cups of military interest, c.1775-90, including a rare Ludwigsburg coffee cup painted by Georg Michael Steinbrenner with the aftermath of a battle scene, a monk administering the last rites to a soldier, a Nymphenburg teacup painted probably by Johannes Klein with Britannia and two putti, beside a plaque engraved 'GB', and two Wallendorf cups, one painted with a girl representing Hope, the other with two doves above a heart on a plinth inscribed 'Ewige Liebe', 7cm max. (4)
Battle scenes are relatively rare on Ludwigsburg porcelain, but at least two services are recorded with this type of decoration.
