Tureen
Dateca. 1725-30
Label TextIncreased European trade in the eighteenth century resulted in a tremendous influx of novel and extraordinary treasures from distant ports. The monkey on this tureen represents the allure of the exotic, just as the floral decoration and palette evoke far-off Japan. This tureen is from one of the earliest known services produced by the Du Paquier manufactory in Vienna, the second hard-paste porcelain manufactory established in Europe.
