This pair of porcelain vases, produced by the Meissen Manufactory between 1735 and 1755, exemplifies the Rococo style popular in 18th-century Europe. The vases are adorned with elaborate floral motifs, intricate patterns, and depictions of figures in a Chinese-inspired setting, a theme known as chinoiserie. These vases are a testament to the Meissen Manufactory's mastery of porcelain production and its ability to blend European artistic sensibilities with Eastern aesthetic influences. They are a fine example of the European fascination with the exotic East.
