Covered tureen and underplate 1754 - 1755

This covered tureen and underplate, crafted by French artist Jean-Claude-Thomas Duplessis in 1754-55, embodies the elegance of Rococo style. Adorned with delicate floral motifs and gilded accents, the porcelain piece exemplifies the era's fascination with nature and intricate design. The tureen's rounded form and the underplate's scalloped edge contribute to a sense of graceful asymmetry characteristic of Rococo aesthetics. This exquisite ensemble would have graced the tables of aristocratic households, serving as a testament to their refined taste and opulent lifestyle.
