Sugar bowl from a tea service for twelve 1807 - 1808

This sugar bowl, part of a 12-piece tea service created between 1807 and 1808, is a prime example of the Neoclassical style. Created by Christophe-Ferdinand Caron, a renowned French porcelain artist, the piece features a delicate depiction of hunting dogs in a woodland setting. The intricate details of the dogs' postures and the surrounding foliage, combined with the rich gold accents and the elegant form of the bowl, highlight the artistry of the period. The bowl is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcasing the elegance of French porcelain during the Neoclassical era.
