Teabowl and saucer 1715 - 1730

This teabowl and saucer, created by the Meissen Manufactory between 1715 and 1730, is a beautiful example of European porcelain from the early 18th century. The set is decorated with a monochrome landscape scene in black and white, characteristic of the Meissen Manufactory’s early work. The detail of the scene, which appears to depict a mountainous landscape with a large, drawn carriage, is impressive, showcasing the high level of artistry achieved by the manufactory. This set is a testament to the skill and ingenuity of the Meissen Manufactory, and it is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
