Bowl 1735 - 1745

This Meissen porcelain bowl and lid, dating back to 1735-1745, showcases the artistry of the Meissen Manufactory. The lid features a charming scene of a man and woman in a landscape, while the bowl is adorned with a delicate floral pattern within a latticework design. The intricate details and elegant form are characteristic of Meissen's renowned porcelain production. The delicate size of this piece (1 3/4 × 3 1/2 in.) suggests it was likely intended for personal use, perhaps for serving tea or other beverages. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this bowl represents a significant example of European decorative arts from the early 18th century.
