Scent bottle 1753 - 1758

This Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory scent bottle, dating from 1753 to 1758, is a delightful example of 18th-century decorative arts. The bottle is shaped like a peach, complete with a leaf and a stem, and features a whimsical butterfly perched atop its lid. The delicate painting on the porcelain, and the use of gold in the design, highlight the craftsmanship of this small but exquisite object. This piece is a testament to the enduring appeal of decorative porcelain and the artistry of the Chelsea Manufactory.
