Two flowerpot containers (cache-pots) and stands c. 1778 - 1782

This porcelain cache-pot, or flowerpot container, was made in Loosdrecht, Netherlands, between 1778 and 1782. The cache-pot is decorated with a picturesque landscape scene, featuring a river, trees, mountains, and two figures fishing. The scene is painted in delicate colors and framed with gold detailing. This piece is a beautiful example of the decorative arts of the late 18th century, reflecting the trend of incorporating nature and picturesque landscapes into home décor. The Rijksmuseum's collection includes two of these cache-pots, both measuring approximately 11 cm in height and 13.3 cm in diameter.
