Saucer with insects, flower sprays and grapevines c. 1797 - 1798

This delicate porcelain saucer, crafted by Rue Thiroux Parijs around 1797-1798, showcases a delightful array of insects, flower sprays, and grapevines. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the painted butterflies, beetles, and other insects against a pristine white background, make this a charming example of 18th-century porcelain decoration. The saucer's gold rim adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. This exquisite piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era.
