Dish 1880 - 1890

Emile Gallé's "Dish" is a stunning example of Art Nouveau ceramic ware. Created between 1880 and 1890, the dish showcases Gallé's signature style of naturalistic motifs. The intricate design features a delicate branch of chrysanthemums, rendered in white and gold, and a stylized insect in shades of gold and brown. The undulating rim of the dish adds to its organic aesthetic, reflecting the movement's emphasis on flowing lines and nature's forms. The dish is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
