This piece carries no backstamp, but the quality of the gilding and the porcelain body point toward Harker Pottery. A saucer-only piece, the cup long separated from it — but the saucer itself is the more decorative of the two.
A lovely wall accent, a collector's find, or a grandmillennial detail on a shelf or tray.
The Fragonard style takes its name from Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806), the French Rococo painter whose fêtes galantes — scenes of elegantly dressed figures in garden settings — became one of the most enduring visual languages in decorative porcelain. Pieces in this style have been produced by many makers across many eras, with American potteries like Harker adapting the aesthetic for a domestic market eager for old-world romance at an accessible price point.
