Box. Glazed porcelain. Potschappel-Dresden, Germany, 19th century.
With mark on the base.
Rectangular box with a slightly curved lid made of glazed porcelain with gilt metal fittings and hinges. The box features a decoration on the outside of figurative scenes of couples in natural landscapes of clear Rococo inspiration, enhanced by gilt frames and scale elements in pink tones. Inside, on the lid, another such scene appears. The base of the piece bears a mark alluding to the manufactory responsible for it. In 1872, Carl Thieme (Carl Johann Gottlieb Thieme) converted his porcelain painting business into a porcelain factory, which remained headquartered in Dresden and was called Sächische Porzellanfabrik zu Potschappel (Dresden) von Carl Thieme. A mark such as the one on this piece was used there between 1888 and the beginning of the 20th century.
