Chocolate pot (?) (part of a coffee service) 1800 - 1815

This porcelain chocolate pot, part of a coffee service, was created by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory between 1800 and 1815. The pot is decorated with a black and white transfer print depicting a woman in a flowing robe holding a cup, likely representing the goddess Hebe, the Greek personification of youth. The pot's white porcelain body and elegant, neoclassical-inspired decoration exemplify the artistic styles of early 19th-century Germany. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the high quality and intricate craftsmanship of the Nymphenburg Manufactory.
