Oval dish 1761 - 1763

This silver oval dish, crafted by Johann Martin Satzger I between 1761 and 1763, is a beautiful example of Rococo style. The dish features intricate, swirling floral motifs and delicate scrollwork, characteristic of the Rococo period. It was created during a time when elaborate ornamentation and a playful use of asymmetry were highly valued, and this dish reflects those ideals. The dish is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
