Höchst Manufactory

Höchst Manufactory is associated with the German porcelain tradition centered on the Höchst factory, whose hard-paste porcelain production gave rise to finely modeled figural groups and sculptural objects in the Rococo spirit. The single work held here, Amintas Freeing Sylvia, belongs to that porcelain output and reflects the manufactory's engagement with pastoral and literary subjects. The collection's holding dates to 1770, with impressions up to that year, and consists of this one example in hard-paste porcelain.
