Saucer 1730 - 1745

This porcelain saucer, created in Chantilly, France, between 1730 and 1745, exemplifies the Chinoiserie style that was popular during the Rococo period. It is decorated with a delicate floral motif, featuring chrysanthemums and leaves, rendered in a vibrant palette of blue, green, yellow, and red. The saucer's design reflects the European fascination with East Asian art and culture, which influenced the decorative arts of the time. Today, the saucer is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
