Small tureen and stand 1730 - 1735

This porcelain tureen and stand, crafted in Vienna between 1730 and 1735, exemplifies the intricate decorative style of the early 18th century. The tureen is adorned with elaborate floral motifs and a central cartouche, while its lid features a whimsical figure in a colorful costume. The stand, similarly decorated, provides a base for the tureen and complements its elegant form. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the skill and artistic ingenuity of Viennese porcelain makers during this period.
