This porcelain snuffbox, crafted by the Fürstenberg Porcelain Manufactory between 1755 and 1765, is a prime example of Rococo-style decorative arts. The box features an ornate design with a central oval portrait surrounded by intricate floral and animal motifs, including a hunting scene. The use of raised relief and the delicate application of polychrome enamels create a rich and tactile surface. The box was likely a luxury item for the wealthy, demonstrating the artistry and craftsmanship of the Fürstenberg Manufactory, renowned for its exquisite porcelain.
