Royal vienna hand-painted pedestal trophy cup vase - signed c. 1880-1900

A superb and very rare Royal Vienna-style porcelain trophy cup, finely hand-painted and artist-signed, dating from around 1880–1900. Standing 14 cm (5.5 in) tall, this exceptional piece features double hand-painted decoration — both the upper cup and the lower pedestal are fully painted with mythological and allegorical scenes. The upper section depicts classical figures with Cupid in his chariot, while the lower frieze shows nymphs and cherubs among clouds and waves, executed with soft pastel tones and exquisite detail typical of Vienna and Dresden master decorators. The cup is richly finished in deep cobalt blue and 24K raised gilding, with embossed gold beading, scrollwork, and laurel borders. Its elegant double-handle trophy form gives it a regal and balanced appearance. The underside bears the underglaze blue beehive mark and a red handwritten title or number, confirming Vienna-style manufacture. Condition: Excellent antique condition — no chips, cracks, or repairs; only minimal age-related gilt wear.
