Snuffbox c. 1778 - 1782

This small, delicately crafted snuffbox, dating back to the late 18th century, is a fine example of Dutch porcelain artistry. Made by the renowned Loosdrecht, the box showcases a charming landscape scene on both the lid and the body, featuring figures and a distant town. Its gilt trim adds an element of elegance, making it an object of both practical and decorative value. The snuffbox’s miniature size and meticulous detail make it a prized example of Dutch decorative arts. The Rijksmuseum, where the box is currently housed, provides a unique opportunity to study this fascinating piece of history.
