Vase 1780 - 1800

This porcelain vase, made by the Le Nove Porcelain Manufactory in Italy between 1780 and 1800, is a fine example of Neoclassical decorative arts. The vase is decorated with a central scene depicting an Italian cityscape, likely a view of the town of Nove itself, where the manufactory was located. It is also embellished with floral motifs and two putti figures, showcasing the mastery of the Italian porcelain makers. The vase, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and skill of the Le Nove manufactory, which was renowned for its high-quality porcelain and intricate decorative details.
