Melkkan 1809 - 1814

This cream jug, or "melkkan" as it is called in Dutch, is a fine example of porcelain from the Koninklijke Porseleinfabriek Dommer & Co., a Dutch factory known for its high-quality ceramics. The simple design and elegant gilt detailing are typical of the Neoclassical style, popular in the early 19th century. The jug is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, a renowned museum of Dutch art and history, where visitors can admire the delicate craftsmanship of this historical piece.
