Bowl with cover 1715 - 1730

This 18th-century porcelain bowl with cover, crafted in Vienna between 1715 and 1730, showcases the popular Chinoiserie style of the era. The bowl is decorated with intricate scenes of figures in a landscape setting, reminiscent of East Asian art. This style, prevalent in European art and design during the Baroque and Rococo periods, reflected a fascination with Chinese culture and aesthetics. The bowl, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the delicate craftsmanship and imaginative designs characteristic of Viennese porcelain production.
