Dinner Plate 1800 - 1815

This French porcelain dinner plate, created by Dihl et Guérhard between 1800 and 1815, is decorated with a delicate gilt pattern. The plate’s white center is framed by a yellow band adorned with whimsical figures and motifs, including a flag, a bird, and a flower arrangement. These elements, executed in gilt, create a striking contrast with the white porcelain, highlighting the intricate details and artistic craftsmanship. The plate is a prime example of French decorative arts during the early 19th century, reflecting the refined aesthetic tastes of the period. The plate is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
