Coffee pot c. 1774 - 1778

This 18th-century coffee pot, crafted by Loosdrecht, is a fine example of Dutch porcelain. The delicate, hand-painted decoration depicts a woman in a colorful dress standing in a landscape, showcasing the artistry of the time. The pot is made of soft-paste porcelain, a type of ceramic popular in the 18th century known for its smooth, translucent appearance. This charming piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the aesthetic sensibilities and craftsmanship of the period.
