Spice box 1732 - 1742

This porcelain spice box, created by the Meissen Manufactory between 1732 and 1742, depicts a woman in a playful and humorous pose. The figure, adorned with elaborate clothing and a wide smile, is seated atop a shell-shaped container, adding a whimsical touch to the piece. The delicate hand-painted floral motifs, characteristic of Meissen porcelain, add to the box's aesthetic appeal. This piece demonstrates the Meissen Manufactory's mastery of porcelain production and its ability to create both functional and decorative objects.
