Coffeepot (part of a coffee service) 1800 - 1815

This porcelain coffeepot, created by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory between 1800 and 1815, showcases the intricate artistry of European ceramics. Decorated with a delicate, hand-painted scene of two women in flowing gowns, the piece exemplifies the Neoclassical style popular during this period. The gold-trimmed border and the overall elegance of the form speak to the high craftsmanship of the Nymphenburg Manufactory, a renowned center for porcelain production. Today, this Coffeepot resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, a testament to the enduring beauty of 19th-century European porcelain.
