Milk pot 1765 - 1780

This 18th-century milk pot, crafted in Tournai, is a fine example of European porcelain. Decorated in a delicate blue and white palette, the pot features a delicate floral pattern, reminiscent of Chinese porcelain styles. The slightly bulbous body and slender handle are characteristic of this period. This exquisite object, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Tournai porcelain makers.
