Tea bowl 1873 - 1876

This small tea bowl, crafted by Karl L. H. Müller between 1873 and 1876, is a fine example of the decorative arts of the 19th century. The bowl, made of white porcelain, features a hand-painted design of stylized floral motifs and leaves in shades of green, red, and yellow, all framed by a yellow and green band around the rim. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases Müller's skill in creating delicate and intricate details on a small scale, a testament to the artistry of the period.
