Stand for a small tureen 1725 - 1740

This stand for a small tureen, made in Vienna between 1725 and 1740, is a stunning example of European porcelain from the Rococo period. The oval-shaped tray is decorated with intricate details, including a central floral arrangement, two putti holding baskets of flowers, and a delicate woven pattern. The piece exhibits the characteristic Rococo style with its asymmetrical, swirling forms, and use of soft pastel colors. This object is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
