Snuffbox 1745 - 1755

This small, rectangular snuffbox, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory between 1745 and 1755, features a white porcelain body with intricate black and gold decoration. The lid depicts a Chinese-inspired landscape with a pagoda, while the sides display elaborate floral patterns. Snuffboxes were popular in the 18th century, and this example is a testament to the technical skill and artistic vision of the Meissen Manufactory, renowned for its high-quality porcelain. The delicate details and rich ornamentation make this a fine example of European decorative arts from the Rococo period.
