Tankard 1730 - 1740

This Meissen porcelain tankard, dating from 1730-1740, is a beautiful example of European decorative arts. It features a hand-painted scene of a city, likely a European capital, with buildings, streets, and people in the background. The tankard is adorned with intricate gold and black floral designs, typical of the Meissen Manufactory’s work. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it serves as a testament to the craftsmanship of the period.
