The advance of newly imported exotic beverages from the New World such as coffee, tea and cocoa, changed drinking habits and, as a result, also the design of the cup. In the 18th century, court porcelains were valued more for their representational worth than for their practical function. Once porcelain could be produced less expensively, cups became even more popular and accessible to the general population. This marked the birth of a new market and unlimited design possibilities.
This volume illustrates a wide range of highly popular porcelain cups during this time period.
