This Meissen porcelain snuffbox, made between 1725 and 1740, depicts a playful scene of children on its lid and a pair of children in boats on its body. The Meissen Manufactory was a leading porcelain producer in Europe, known for its high quality and intricate designs. This snuffbox, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, reflects the influence of Asian art on European decorative arts, as seen in the depiction of children in Chinese dress. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Meissen Manufactory, and a beautiful example of early European porcelain.
