Snuffbox (?) (one of a pair) 1760 - 1770

This small, delicately painted porcelain snuffbox, one of a pair, was made in Mennecy, France, between 1760 and 1770. The piece features a unique design of stylized flowers and leaves, painted in blue and brown against a white background. This intricate detail is characteristic of the French Rococo style and displays the craftsmanship of the Mennecy factory, known for its high-quality porcelain and decorative designs. The box is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
