Toilet jar with cover 1760 - 1770

This French porcelain toilet jar with a cover, created in the 18th century by the Mennecy factory, is a charming example of decorative ceramics. The jar, adorned with delicate floral designs in black and gray, showcases the factory's ability to produce high-quality porcelain with intricate details. The basket-weave pattern on the body and the ornate finial on the lid add to the jar's elegance. This exquisite piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Mennecy factory during this era.
