This butter tub, created by E. Blancheron sometime between c. 1790 and 1800, is a fine example of decorative porcelain. The tub and its accompanying tray are adorned with gold leaf and feature a design of a repeating floral pattern along the rim. It was commissioned by Hendrik Peter Godfried Quack and Isabella Gertraud von Carnap, as indicated by the coat of arms displayed on the top of the lid. This artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the late 18th century. It embodies the elegance and sophistication of the era, revealing the personal taste of the couple who commissioned it.
