This pair of porcelain sugar casters, produced by the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory around 1737, depicts two figures in elaborate Turkish attire. The figures are likely inspired by European fascination with Eastern cultures, a common theme in European art of the time. The casters, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, showcase the Meissen factory's mastery of porcelain production and decorative techniques, using intricate gold detailing and vibrant colors to create a striking and detailed representation.
