Coffeepot 1770 - 1780

This porcelain coffeepot, crafted by the Höchst Manufactory in Germany between 1770 and 1780, exemplifies the Rococo style. It features a delicate floral motif on the lid, and the body is adorned with a charming scene of fowl amidst a lush landscape. The use of gold accents adds to the elegance of this piece, which is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the decoration make this a perfect example of the high quality craftsmanship of the Höchst Manufactory, a renowned producer of porcelain during the 18th century.
