Lithophane

Koenigliche Porzellan Manufaktur

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular white porcelain plaque on a black stand. The plaque has raised relief design depicting two people. The person on the left appears to be an adult male with short hair. The person on the right appears to be a child. In the background, there are some rectangular shapes that may be parts of a building or a fence. The plaque is framed with a thin black metal frame with four spherical corners. The frame is attached to a short black stand with a round base and three feet. The base of the stand has a decorative stem. The background is plain and light-colored. The overall style suggests it is a lithophane by Koenigliche Porzellan Manufaktur.
