Scent bottle in the form of a hunter 1735 - 1745

This porcelain scent bottle, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory between 1735 and 1745, takes the form of a hunter. The figure, standing with a gun and a hunting dog at his feet, exemplifies the Rococo style's emphasis on playful, intricate detail. The Meissen Manufactory, established in Germany in 1710, was renowned for its exquisite porcelain figures, which captured the spirit of the era. This particular piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the artistry of the manufactory and the enduring appeal of Rococo-era design.
