Vintners 1751 - 1761

"Vintners" is a porcelain figurine group created by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory in England between 1751 and 1761. This piece depicts a man and a woman, likely representing a vintner and his wife, engaged in the harvest of grapes. The figures, adorned with colorful, floral-patterned clothing, stand on a rocaille base adorned with flowers and foliage, signifying a romantic setting and a scene of abundant nature. This charming figure group, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details typical of 18th-century English porcelain.
