Milk pot 1775 - 1785

This porcelain milk pot, created in the Netherlands between 1775 and 1785, showcases the intricate artistry of the Loosdrecht factory. The delicate, hand-painted floral design, featuring delicate blossoms in shades of red, blue, and green, adorns the white surface of the pot. A hallmark of Dutch porcelain production, the pot exhibits a "Chinese taste" with its stylized floral motifs, a trend that gained popularity throughout Europe in the 18th century. This milk pot is a beautiful example of European craftsmanship during the period of Chinoiserie. Currently, it resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
