This saucer, part of a six-piece service, is a stunning example of early Meissen porcelain. Created between 1715 and 1725, the piece showcases the manufactory's mastery of the new material. The saucer features a delicate, hand-painted border of stylized floral motifs in gold, creating a sense of elegance and sophistication. The center of the saucer features a small, intricate gold design. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistry of the Meissen Manufactory in its early years.
