This sugar box with cover, created by the Meissen Manufactory between 1714 and 1730, is a beautiful example of early European porcelain. The piece is decorated with delicate floral patterns, stylized birds and a repeating geometric pattern on the body and lid. The sugar box stands on three animal feet, demonstrating the influence of East Asian porcelain on European design during this period. The piece is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
