Dish with cover 1734

This 1734 porcelain dish with cover from Vienna is a fine example of Rococo style, characterized by the intricate floral and landscape motifs adorned with gold accents. The delicate, swirling designs and pastel palette were popular during the period, reflecting a shift towards elegance and refinement in decorative arts. The dish's small size suggests its use for serving individual portions of food, highlighting the growing emphasis on intimate dining experiences in aristocratic circles. This work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the 18th century.
