Saucer with insects, flower sprays and grapevines c. 1797 - 1798

This saucer, created by Rue Thiroux Parijs around 1797-1798, features a delicate design of insects, flower sprays, and grapevines. The white porcelain base provides a stark contrast to the colorful hand-painted details of the various insects, showcasing the artistic skill of the painter. The saucer's gold rim adds an elegant touch, complementing the intricate details of the floral motifs and insects. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic and decorative trends of late 18th-century Europe.
