Vase and Cover (one of a pair)

<p>These rare <a href="https://www.artic.edu/artworks/146975/vase-and-cover-one-of-a-pair">vases</a> represent two significant contributions to the history of European ceramics: the earliest form of European hard-paste porcelain, developed at the Meissen Manufactory by Johann Friedrich Böttger (German, 1682–1719); and the virtuoso <em>Schwartzlot</em> (black enamel) decoration and gilding of Ignaz Preissler (German, 1676–1741), who came from a distinguished family of glass and ceramic decorators.</p>
