Snuffbox 1770 - 1780

This small, round porcelain snuffbox, made in the late 18th century by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Berlin, is adorned with delicate floral motifs and features two cherubs in a playful scene on the lid. The box is trimmed with a silver band and is a beautiful example of the high-quality porcelain that was produced in Germany during this period. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this elegant piece.
