Asian 1745 - 1760

This porcelain figurine, crafted by the Höchst Manufactory between 1745 and 1760, depicts an Asian figure in a colorful, ornate outfit. The figure, standing on a pedestal, holds a fan, reflecting the fascination with East Asian culture that was prevalent in 18th-century Europe. This piece is an example of the "chinoiserie" style, popularized in the decorative arts, which used East Asian themes and motifs in a European context. The figurine's delicate details and vibrant colors contribute to its charming and whimsical aesthetic.
