This porcelain condiment jar is part of a pair, symbolizing the seasons, Summer in this case. Made by the Höchst Manufactory, a German porcelain factory, this jar features a charming figure of a young woman dressed in a summery outfit. The figure sits atop the jar, which is intricately decorated with floral motifs, resembling a garden, reflecting the season's abundance. This 18th-century piece exemplifies the craftsmanship and decorative style of German porcelain during this period, combining both functional and decorative elements.
