Jug 1745 - 1755

This porcelain jug, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory between 1745 and 1755, exemplifies the high quality and artistry of German porcelain production during the Rococo period. The delicate floral designs, likely inspired by botanical studies, are painted in underglaze blue and enhance the elegant, bulbous form. The molded handle adds a touch of whimsy and further contributes to the intricate detail of this masterful piece. This jug, now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the Meissen Manufactory’s mastery in porcelain, blending intricate decoration with graceful form.
