Shoe c. 1770 - 1780

This ceramic shoe, created by Adam Sijbel between 1770-1780, is a unique example of decorative art from the 18th century. The small scale of the object, measuring only 18 cm in length and 5.5 cm in height, suggests it may have been a decorative object rather than a functional shoe. The intricate floral pattern in shades of blue and white adorning the shoe is characteristic of the decorative styles popular during this period. The piece serves as a fascinating glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the time.
