Box. Enameled porcelain. Potschappel-Dresden, Germany, 19th century. With mark on the base. Rectangular box with a slightly curved lid made of enamelled porcelain with gold metal trim and hinges. The box features a decoration on the outside of figurative scenes of couples in natural landscapes with a clear Rococo feel, enhanced by gold frames and scale elements in pink tones. On the inside, on the lid, another scene of this type appears. 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, keeping the headquarters in Dresden and calling it Sächische Porzellanfabrik zu Potschappel (Dresden) von Carl Thieme. A mark such as the one seen on this piece was used there between 1888 and the beginning of the 20th century.
