Delightful miniature cup & saucer, likely part of a larger child's play set, by Meissen and hand painted with exotic birds and insects. Each piece is marked to the base with under glaze blue crossed swords mark dating to the Marocilini period, 1774-1814.

Cup measures 4.7cm(1.85") x 2.6cm(1.02"), saucer 6.8cm(2.7").

Good overall condition, one small firing split in the cup as shown in the photos which would have been present since this set was manufactured.
