Captain 1745 - 1758

"Captain" is a porcelain figurine produced by the Höchst Manufactory between 1745 and 1758. The figurine, which depicts a man in a theatrical costume, is a fine example of German porcelain of the 18th century. The Höchst Manufactory was known for its high-quality porcelain figures, often depicting figures from Commedia dell'arte, and its use of underglaze blue and gold decoration. The figurine is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
