Saucer with a landscape on a purple ground c. 1765 - 1770

This small saucer, dating from the mid-18th century, is an exquisite example of European porcelain production. Crafted by the Porzellanmanufaktur Frankenthal, the saucer features a vibrant purple ground, a common color in 18th-century porcelain. The central motif is a delicately painted landscape scene with a river, boats, and trees, all enclosed within a decorative, scalloped frame. The saucer's size and intricate details speak to the refinement and craftsmanship of the Frankenthal factory.
