Scent bottle 1755 - 1765

This porcelain scent bottle, created by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory in the mid-18th century, is a fine example of English ceramics. The bottle's egg shape is decorated with delicate floral motifs and a unique stopper shaped like a broken twig, adding to its charm. The scent bottle is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory and highlights the popularity of porcelain during the 18th century. This miniature work of art is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
