Scent bottle 1725 - 1735

This 18th-century scent bottle, made in Vienna between 1725 and 1735, showcases the intricate artistry of the time. The bottle, crafted in porcelain, features a delicate floral design and a picturesque scene of a castle by a river. The elaborate gold-plated mount, with its intricate openwork and stylized animal figures, further elevates the piece. This exquisite object, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the Viennese porcelain makers.
