Tea caddy 1755 - 1770

This porcelain tea caddy was made by the Fürstenberg Porcelain Manufactory in Germany between 1755 and 1770. The white porcelain is decorated with hand-painted blue and gold floral motifs and birds, characteristic of the Rococo style. The piece is a fine example of the high quality of porcelain produced by Fürstenberg, which became known for its elegant and delicate decoration. Today, this piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
