Aguamanil

Manufactory Medici Porcelain Manufactory Italian
ca. 1575–87
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 503
Até onde sabemos, as primeiras tentativas de produzir objetos de porcelana na Europa foram feitas nos ateliês da corte de Médici, em Florença, no final do século XVI. Com o apoio de Francesco I de Médici, grão-duque da Toscana, cerca de 1574, os artesãos começaram a experimentar, imitando a porcelana azul e branca chinesa, que era muito apreciada na Europa. Embora as cerâmicas chinesa e otomana tenham influenciado a porcelana ornamental de Médici, muitas das formas produzidas no ateliê ducal foram inspiradas nas cerâmicas contemporâneas em pedra ou obras de ourivesaria contemporâneas, como o caso do aguamanil mostrado aqui. Atualmente, existem apenas cerca de sessenta peças de porcelana Médici.
