Plate c. 1755

This 18th-century Chelsea porcelain plate, dating to c. 1755, showcases a vibrant floral design. The central motif is a large, stylized flower with a geometric pattern, surrounded by delicate bamboo sprigs and sprays of red blossoms. The plate's scalloped rim adds to its elegant form. This example of English porcelain from the Chelsea Factory, known for its high quality and exquisite decoration, exemplifies the influence of East Asian aesthetics during the 18th century. The plate is currently part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
