Manufactory Le Nove Porcelain Manufactory Italian

ca. 1786

Not on view

When discharging its function as a container for liquid, this object also completed the allusion of the decoration, two small boys perched by a pool from which one may be presumed to have filled his bottle. The playfulness and the style of the rococo survived together in Italian ceramics to the end of the eighteenth century.
