Vase with cover (one of a pair) 1725 - 1735

This 18th century, Meissen porcelain vase, known as "Vase with cover (one of a pair)", is a beautiful example of the intricate craftsmanship and decorative techniques that defined the Meissen Manufactory during the Baroque period. The vase is decorated with a vibrant red ground, adorned with delicate floral designs and whimsical depictions of insects and a frog, all rendered in rich, hand-painted enamels. The gold accents add a touch of luxury and refinement, making this piece a testament to the skill of the Meissen artists. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
