Scent bottle 1755 - 1765

This Meissen porcelain scent bottle, created between 1755 and 1765, features a meticulously detailed figure of a woman dressed in the fashionable attire of the 18th century. The figurine, standing just over three inches tall, showcases the renowned artistry of the Meissen Manufactory, known for its exquisite porcelain and intricate decorative techniques. The woman's elaborate gown, adorned with delicate floral patterns, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period, demonstrating the Meissen Manufactory's mastery of both form and detail. This piece is a prime example of the European fascination with miniature porcelain figures, which gained popularity in the 18th century, and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
