Teapot and milk jug c. 1800 - 1805

This milk jug, made by the Dutch porcelain factory Koninklijke Porseleinfabriek Dommer & Co. around 1800-1805, is a fine example of early 19th-century European porcelain. The jug, crafted in white porcelain, is adorned with a delicate hand-painted scene depicting a rural landscape with figures and a house by a river. The details of the scene are rendered in soft, muted colors, typical of the period. The gilded rim and handle add a touch of elegance to the design. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the artistry and decorative taste of the Dutch Golden Age.
