Teabowl and saucer 1715 - 1730

This Meissen teabowl and saucer, produced between 1715 and 1730, features a black and white depiction of a battle scene. Both the saucer and the bowl have a similar design with the saucer showing a more expansive battle with clouds of smoke, while the bowl depicts a scene of three riders, one with a gun, possibly pursuing an enemy on horseback. Meissen porcelain, produced in Germany, was known for its high quality and intricate designs, often inspired by East Asian porcelain. This tea set reflects the growing popularity of tea drinking in Europe during the 18th century.
