Sugar bowl with cover (part of a service) 18th century

This 18th-century sugar bowl and cover is a fine example of Meissen porcelain, known for its delicate, hand-painted designs. The piece is adorned with charming pastoral scenes featuring figures and landscapes, a common motif in European porcelain of the period. The Meissen Manufactory, founded in 1710, was instrumental in establishing European porcelain production. This sugar bowl, part of a larger service, exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistic flair that made Meissen porcelain highly sought after throughout Europe. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
