Bowl 1719 - 1729

This Meissen porcelain bowl, dating from 1719-1729, is an exquisite example of the "Chinese taste" prevalent in European art during the early 18th century. The bowl's decoration features a delicate depiction of Chinese figures amidst a landscape, showcasing the intricate painting techniques and decorative motifs that were highly sought after by European collectors. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, highlights the influence of Asian art on European porcelain production and the growing fascination with Eastern cultures during this period.
