Tankard 1725 - 1735

This porcelain tankard, produced by the Meissen Manufactory between 1725 and 1735, is a fine example of German Rococo craftsmanship. The tankard features a silver-plated lid and intricate hand-painted decorations, including a central scene depicting a Chinese landscape. The tankard was likely used for drinking beer or other beverages, and it reflects the popularity of Chinese aesthetics in Europe during the 18th century. The Meissen Manufactory was one of the first European porcelain factories, and its products were highly sought after by European elites.
