Jar with cover 1745 - 1765

This small, white porcelain jar with a lid is a beautiful example of French ceramic artistry. The piece, made in Mennecy between 1745 and 1765, features delicate blue and white floral designs. The lid, with its central knob, is covered in intricate scrolls and flower motifs, while the jar itself is adorned with a band of similarly delicate patterns. The jar's simple, cylindrical shape and the intricate details of the decoration create a visually pleasing contrast. This jar is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
