This delicate porcelain saucer, produced by the Real Fabrica de Buen Retiro in Spain between 1755 and 1765, showcases a charming scene of three figures on a donkey. The hand-painted decoration, known as "Vista Alegre," features a woman with a flowing yellow dress and a man in a black hat, while a young girl in a blue dress is helping them mount the animal. The saucer's rim is adorned with a gold-painted, intricate design. This piece exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of 18th-century Spanish porcelain production and is a testament to the enduring appeal of whimsical decorative motifs.
