Tureen and stand 1730 - 1740

This 18th-century tureen and stand, produced in Vienna, showcases the elegant craftsmanship of the period. The white porcelain is adorned with black-and-white transfer-printed designs of stylized flora, fauna, and hunting scenes, a popular motif of the time. The tureen’s lid features a stylized fox, while the stand highlights a wolf in a wooded landscape. This piece, a testament to the artistry of Viennese porcelain production, is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a testament to its cultural and historical significance.
