This porcelain chess piece, a Knight, was created by the Höchster Porzellanmanufaktur GmbH in Germany, between 1762 and 1796. It is currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago. The piece is crafted in a neoclassical style, depicting a bust of a warrior wearing a helmet and draped in a cloak, standing on an octagonal pedestal. The white porcelain material enhances the piece's elegance and refinement, making it a fine example of German porcelain artistry. The piece represents the Knight chess piece and is a testament to the artistry of the Höchster Porzellanmanufaktur GmbH during the 18th century.
