RARE! 1880 Royal Vienna Cobalt & Gold Porcelain Cup & Saucer Kauffman Beehive

  

1880 Royal Vienna Cobalt & Gold Porcelain Cup & Saucer Kauffman Beehive. For your consideration is a truly wonderful and very rare set of 6 late 19th century porcelain Cobalt cups & saucers in heavy gold. The set is split into 2 different Angelica Kauffman scenes - "The Shepard's Dilemma" by Francesco Bartolozzi, and an image of two women feeding a child grapes. I have not been able to identify that image. Perhaps a Kauffman original work?

There are three pairs of each scene. While the scene is transferred, there are hand painted overlay highlights on the images, and all the gold is hand painted.

Back shows an authentic beehive mark of Royal Vienna. This item is in the category "Pottery & Glass\Decorative Cookware, Dinnerware & Serveware\Cup & Saucers".
