Pair of plates 1745 - 1775

This pair of decorative plates, dating from 1745–1775, was produced by the Veuve Perrin Factory. The plates are adorned with a delicate floral design in shades of pink and blue, featuring stylized blossoms and foliage. The intricate openwork rim, a hallmark of 18th-century European ceramics, adds visual interest and contributes to the overall sense of elegance. The plates, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, are a fine example of the French Rococo style, characterized by its playful asymmetry and emphasis on natural forms.
