Ewer and basin c. 1777 - 1790

This elegant ewer and basin, produced by the Porseleinfabriek Den Haag, exemplifies the Neoclassical style popular in the late 18th century. The delicate floral motifs and stylized birds, alongside the Greek key border, demonstrate the fascination with classical aesthetics during this period. The white porcelain and gold accents create a sense of refinement, reflecting the taste of the wealthy Dutch clientele. This set, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and artistic trends of Dutch ceramics during the era.
