A rare Nymphenburg coffee cup and saucer

A rare Nymphenburg coffee cup and saucer, dated 1757, the cup painted with three figures beneath a banner inscribed with an AR monogram and the date 1757, beside a small church, the saucer with further figures beside a bridge over water, and another Nymphenburg cup and saucer painted in purple monochrome with travellers in waterside landscapes, with rococo trellis work in yellow, green and red, impressed shield marks, some gilt wear, restoration to one handle, 14cm max. (4)

It is possible that the date on the cup refers to the factory's 10th year of trading and was added to commemorate that fact.
