Fish in net 1750 - 1760

This small porcelain bottle, produced by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1760, depicts two fish caught in a net. The intricately detailed sculpture, standing just under four inches tall, is a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship of the Chelsea factory. Its rococo style, popular during the 18th century, is reflected in the delicate, swirling form of the net and the playful depiction of the fish. The bottle, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a reminder of the exquisite artistry of early English porcelain.
