Ewer 1775 - 1780

This 18th-century ewer, created by La Courtille between 1775 and 1780, is a beautiful example of French porcelain. The piece, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York, features a delicate white glaze adorned with intricate floral patterns and a charming scene depicting a cherub. The intricate gilded details and pastel-colored accents further enhance the ewer's elegance, making it a striking testament to the artistry of the period. The ewer's design reflects the Rococo style popular in France during the 18th century, characterized by its emphasis on asymmetry, curves, and elaborate ornamentation.
