Covered Flasks

Meissen Porcelain Factory

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two white porcelain flasks with gold accents and painted designs. The flasks have a bulbous body that tapers to a narrow neck and a small stopper on top with a chain attached. The bases of the flasks are circular and gold. One flask features a man wearing a purple robe and a gold hat standing next to a goat-like animal and holding a string with various birds hanging from it. The other flask depicts a woman in a purple robe standing next to a basket and another animal. Both flasks have additional painted designs, including flowers, leaves, and other decorative elements. The background of the image is gray.
