Antique Porcelain Pill Pot with Angelica Kauffman Painting
Approximate Dimensions: Diameter - 45mm Height - 30mm
Condition: Good
The antique porcelain pill pot, measuring 45mm in diameter and 30mm in height, features a transfer print of an Angelica Kauffman painting. Kauffman, born in 1741, was a Swiss Neoclassical painter known for her history paintings and decorative arts.
Hinged at the rear with a front clip closure, the pot's lid and base are adorned with brass banding. Despite its historical significance, no maker's branding is present, adding to its mysterious allure.
This pill pot, typical for storing medicinal pills or small items, reflects the craftsmanship of the period. Beyond its functional use, it pays homage to Kauffman's artistic prowess and the porcelain makers' skills of that era.
