Plate from the Charlotte Louise Service 1774

This delicate porcelain plate, crafted in 1774 by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, is a fine example of French Rococo decorative arts. The plate's white ground is adorned with a vibrant blue rim, accented by gold and delicate floral motifs. It also features four oval vignettes, each portraying cherubs amid clouds, adding a sense of playful elegance to the piece. The central monogram, likely representing a member of the Charlotte Louise service, further underscores the plate’s historical significance. This plate, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic refinement of 18th-century French porcelain.
