Thimble case 1755 - 1765

This 18th-century thimble case, crafted by the renowned Meissen Manufactory, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Rococo era. The porcelain piece features delicate, hand-painted scenes on both the lid and the body, depicting idyllic landscapes with figures in elegant attire. The intricate silver trim surrounding the lid adds a touch of opulence, making this thimble case not just a functional item, but a miniature work of art. The piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the Meissen Manufactory's mastery in both porcelain production and decorative painting.
