EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Covered Vase, manufactured by the renowned Meissen Porcelain Factory in Germany. Dating back to 1749, this exquisite piece of art is made from porcelain and mounted in gilt bronze. With dimensions of h:37.40 w:32.70 d:21.00 cm, it is a true masterpiece that can be found at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The vase's intricate design and decorative patterns are truly mesmerizing. Its glazed surface features an array of scenes and motifs that capture the essence of 18th-century German craftsmanship. The delicate ceramics and ornate detailing make it a remarkable example of artistic excellence during this period. Interestingly, historical records suggest that this particular vase may have been part of a set acquired by Mme. du Pompadour, the mistress of Louis XV in 1752. It adds another layer to its rich history and significance as an object with royal connections. Displayed alongside another pair now housed in the Wrightman Collection, these vases were possibly one set among four covered vases originally created for Mme. du Pompadour's collection. This print not only captures the beauty and elegance of this extraordinary artwork but also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by Meissen Porcelain Factory's master craftsmen from centuries ago.
