This porcelain vase, one of a pair, was produced at the Meissen Manufactory in Germany between 1730 and 1740. The Meissen Manufactory was the first European porcelain factory, founded in 1710 and renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship. This particular vase is decorated with colorful Chinese-inspired scenes, a trend known as chinoiserie, which was popular in European art during the 18th century. The vase is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, showcasing the fascinating influence of East Asian art on European decorative styles.
