Salad Bowl (Insalatiera) c. 1760

This 18th-century porcelain salad bowl, created by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory in Italy, showcases the vibrant Chinoiserie style popular during the period. The bowl's white background is adorned with lavishly painted floral motifs in red, blue, and green, evoking a sense of exoticism and East Asian influence. The rim is decorated with a band of intricate scrolling patterns, adding a touch of elegance to the piece. This bowl is an excellent example of the Doccia Manufactory's skilled craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of Chinoiserie in European decorative arts.
