Dish (underdish for a tureen) 1730 - 1740

This 18th-century underdish, crafted by Jean-Baptiste Guillibaud, is a stunning example of French Rococo porcelain. Its delicate floral wreath and intricate geometric patterns, along with the central dragonfly, showcase the artistic finesse of this era. The dish, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the artistry of French porcelain production in the 18th century.
