This porcelain saucer, part of a tea or coffee service, was created by the Frankenthal Porcelain Manufactory between 1765 and 1775. The saucer features a delicate hand-painted scene with a bird perched on a tree in a stylized landscape. The rim of the saucer is edged with a thin line of gold. The painting showcases the fine craftsmanship and artistry of the Frankenthal factory, known for producing high-quality porcelain with intricate decorative details. This example is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Rococo style, with its emphasis on elegance and delicate ornamentation, which was prevalent in 18th-century Europe.
