Melkkan 1742

"Melkkan," a silver pitcher created by Arnoldus van Geffen in 1742, is a fine example of Rococo-style craftsmanship. The pitcher's bulbous body, delicate handle, and three graceful feet, all crafted in polished silver, reflect the Rococo movement's emphasis on elegance and ornamentation. This charming piece, likely used for serving milk or cream, would have been a desirable addition to any 18th-century Dutch table setting.
