Vase with cover 1720 - 1730

This 18th-century Meissen porcelain vase with cover is a fine example of the "Chinese taste" that was popular in Europe at the time. It features a striking blue and white design with a delicate floral pattern and figures inspired by Chinese porcelain, which was highly sought after in Europe during this era. Meissen porcelain was known for its high quality and intricate designs, and this vase is a testament to the skill of the Meissen Manufactory artisans. The vase, which stands 16 15/16 inches tall, is a beautiful and elegant example of European decorative arts and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
