Dish 1881 - 1890

This decorative dish, "Dish", is from the late 19th century and was created by the French company Société Gérard, Dufraisseix and Morel. The dish is a fine example of the decorative arts of this period, featuring a charming depiction of a cherubic figure with a knife, surrounded by peaches and leaves, all rendered in exquisite detail. The dish, which is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship of its time and showcases the decorative trends that were popular during this period.
