Circular tureen with cover 1760 - 1770

This circular tureen with cover, crafted by Hermann Neupert II between 1760 and 1770, is a fine example of Rococo silverwork. The tureen, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, features intricate floral motifs in a delicate and graceful style characteristic of the era. The piece's elegant form and elaborate ornamentation demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship prevalent during the Rococo period, making it a testament to the artistry of German silversmithing. The tureen’s size and design suggest it was likely intended for serving soup or other stews at grand dinners or special occasions.
