下面这个梅森葡萄藤浮雕（Weinlaub）的杯子，原以为是1740-1750年代早期试验阶段生产的。

• 1740s–1750s → The first relief-moulded vine-leaf decoration appeared at Meissen, introduced under Johann Joachim Kändler (chief modeller). Around 1774–1775 → The design was standardized into the “Weinlaub” service, with cups, saucers, plates, and pots decorated with grapevine reliefs, sometimes with green-painted leaves, sometimes left all-white (Blanc de Chine style, like yours). 19th century → The service continued in production, since it was very popular with aristocracy. By this point, it became one of Meissen’s “classic” patterns, still offered into the 20th century.

ChatGPT给出的年代，则是稍晚一点的1780-1795年代：

• My conclusion: Your cup is most likely Meissen, vine-leaf relief, produced in the late 18th century (c. 1780–1795).

再贴一张更清晰的照片，ChatGPT给出了更肯定的意见：

1、Handle

• Very thin, sharply edged, and slightly irregular in curvature.

• The little thorn-like prongs on the top of the handle are classic late 18th century Meissen Rococo style (these disappear or get simplified in 19th century versions).

2、Relief Decoration

• The grape leaves are deeply modelled, with crisp veins and sharp berry clusters.

• This sharper relief is typical of earlier moulds (1770s–1790s). By 1800–1815, the reliefs soften, and leaves often look more “rounded.”

3、Body Shape

• The cup has a slightly flared lip and a short footring.

• This shape is also consistent with late 18th century Meissen teawares, right around 1780–1795.
