Cane handle 1765 - 1775

This porcelain cane handle, created by the Höchst Manufactory between 1765 and 1775, is a beautiful example of Rococo style. The handle features a central female figure surrounded by three putti, all rendered in delicate detail. The Rococo influence is evident in the swirling, asymmetrical forms and the use of pastel colors, such as pink and gold. The intricate floral decoration and the overall sense of playful movement are characteristic of the era. The handle would have been a luxurious accessory for a wealthy gentleman of the time, reflecting his taste for refined artistry and sophistication.
