Box 1723 - 1735

This pair of porcelain boxes, produced by the Meissen Manufactory between 1723 and 1735, are shaped like open fans. The boxes are decorated with delicate floral motifs and feature a vibrant color palette. The Meissen Manufactory, founded in 1710, was one of the first European porcelain factories, and its work is known for its high quality and intricate details. The boxes, which can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represent the factory's early success in replicating the beauty of Chinese porcelain. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the boxes appeal to contemporary art lovers interested in 18th-century European porcelain and decorative arts.
