Pair of incense burners c. 1777 - 1790

This pair of incense burners, created by the Porseleinfabriek Den Haag between 1777 and 1790, is a fine example of Dutch Rococo porcelain. The delicate floral motifs painted in vibrant colors and the elegant, asymmetrical design of the base and lid exemplify the characteristic features of the style. The porcelain was made in The Hague, a center of Dutch ceramic production in the 18th century, and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
