Serving dish c. 1777 - 1790

This oval porcelain serving dish, made by the Porseleinfabriek Den Haag, features a delicate landscape scene painted in the center. The scene depicts a small cottage nestled amongst trees and rolling hills, with a figure walking along a path in the foreground. The rim is adorned with a decorative border of stylized flowers and gold accents. Made in the late 18th century, this dish exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and popular pastoral themes of Dutch porcelain during this period. This dish is a prime example of Dutch decorative arts and currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
