Saucer 1731 - 1743

This 18th-century saucer by Cornelis Pronk, an important Dutch Delftware potter, features a decorative design inspired by Chinese porcelain. The scene depicts two figures in a landscape setting with birds, surrounded by an elaborate border. Pronk's work is known for its meticulous detail and the use of blue and white enamel on a tin-glazed earthenware body, a characteristic of Delftware. The piece is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
