Biscuit porcelain is a particular manufacturing technique that gives the surface an opaque and satin appearance. This centerpiece represents Mercury delivering his son Bacchus to the Nymphs in the presence of a goat, a mythological scene typical of the style of the period.

Mercury, the messenger of the gods, was responsible for delivering his son Bacchus to the Nymphs, divinities of the forests and waters. Bacchus was a young god of wine and ecstasy, and the Nymphs would look after him and teach him the secrets of nature and creativity.

The moment of delivery was solemn and joyful: Mercury placed the newborn Bacchus in the loving arms of the Nymphs, who welcomed the little one with smiles and caresses. The Nymphs took care of him as if he were their own child, teaching him the secrets of nature and magic.

Bacchus will grow up under the protection of the Nymphs, learning from them the wisdom and beauty of nature. And thanks to this precious gift from Mercury, the young god of wine and ecstasy will become one of the most loved and venerable deities of Olympus. less
