Saucer with a landscape c. 1760 - 1800

This delicate saucer, produced by the Porseleinfabriek Ludwigsburg in Germany, dates from the late 18th century. The hand-painted landscape scene features a rural cottage nestled amidst trees, showcasing the popular "paysage" aesthetic of the time. This style, popularized by French porcelain, depicted idyllic countryside scenes and often included small figures, lending a touch of romanticism to everyday objects. The saucer's delicate porcelain and fine, detailed painting exemplify the high standard of craftsmanship associated with Ludwigsburg's renowned porcelain factory.
