Two salt cellars c. 1774 - 1778

This pair of salt cellars, dating from 1774-1778, was created by the Dutch artist Loosdrecht. The porcelain pieces, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, are decorated in a delicate pink and gold palette. They showcase a charming landscape scene, reminiscent of the Rococo era's focus on whimsical imagery and elaborate designs. These salt cellars are a fine example of Dutch porcelain craftsmanship, showcasing intricate details and artistic finesse.
