Goat and Bee Cream Jug c. 1745

This small cream jug, titled "Goat and Bee Cream Jug", was produced at the Chelsea factory in England around 1745. It is a fine example of the factory’s early work in soft-paste porcelain. This jug's intricate design features a goat's head and horns that form the handle and a bee perched on the lip, all molded in white. The jug's delicate form and natural motifs highlight the factory's skill in achieving a refined aesthetic, characteristic of the Rococo style. It is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
