Giesshübel Kysibl Empire Porcelain Cup And Saucer, Bohemia, C.1820

An Empire-period porcelain cup and saucer from the Giesshübel (Kysibl) factory, produced in Bohemia in the early 19th century. The factory played a significant role in the development of refined Bohemian porcelain aligned with contemporary European taste.

Under the leadership of Benedikt Knaute, Giesshübel production reached a high level of technical and decorative quality, allowing its wares to compete with leading French Empire porcelain.

The set is decorated with a deep green ground and extensive gilding, and the pedestal form of the cup reflects Empire-period taste.

Factory marks were frequently omitted during this period.

Early Empire cup and saucer sets from Giesshübel are scarce today, particularly examples retaining their original decorative surfaces.
