Box. Glazed porcelain. Potschappel-Dresden, Germany, 19th century. With a brand on the base. Rectangular box with a slightly curved lid made of glazed porcelain with gilded metal fittings and hinges, decorated on the outside with figurative scenes of couples in natural landscapes with a clear Rococo feel, enhanced by gilded frames and scale elements in pink tones; on the inside, on the lid, there is another scene of this type. The base of the piece bears a mark alluding to the factory responsible for it. In 1872, Carl Thieme (Carl Johann Gottlieb Thieme) converted his porcelain painting business into a porcelain factory, maintaining its headquarters in Dresden and naming it Sächische Porzellanfabrik zu Potschappel (Dresden) von Carl Thieme. A mark like the one seen on this piece was used there between 1888 and the beginning of the 20th century.
