Description


Our milk pot is part of one of the most famous porcelain service of the Höchst manufactory. It is painted and signed by the great Louis Victor Gerverot (1747-1829) – ‘Arkanist’, painter, molder and later also manufacturer manager – who worked in no fewer than 19 European manufactories. The milk pot was owned by our founder Elfriede Langeloh, who discovered it in the 1920s between 1926–29.

The similar signed coffee pot of the same service is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession number: 40.169.7a,b).
