Mid-Century Miniature Porcelain Pitcher with Fragonard Courting Couple Motif

This is a decorative miniature porcelain pitcher or ewer, likely of European origin, possibly West Germany or Limoges, dating to the mid-20th century. The vessel features a tall, slender neck that flares into a shaped spout, a bulbous lower body, and a stylized, pinched white ceramic handle. The primary glaze is a soft, dusty pink with a subtle iridescent or lustrous finish. Centered on the front is a classical transfer-style vignette depicting a 'Courting Couple' in 18th-century Rococo attire, a scene heavily inspired by the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The scene shows a man serenading a woman seated in a garden setting, rendered in vibrant shades of blue, gold, and magenta. The central medallion is framed by a hand-applied gold gilt border, which is also present along the rim and handle. Overall condition appears good, though there is visible surface wear and rubbing on the gold gilding, particularly around the spout and base, which is consistent with age. The craftsmanship is typical of mid-market decorative porcelain giftware from the 1950s-1960s, serving as a decorative shelf piece rather than a functional vessel.
