Platter 1750 - 1755

This white porcelain platter, created by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory in Italy between 1750 and 1755, is a prime example of the Rococo style. The delicate, raised floral and ribbon motifs that encircle the rim of the platter, along with the central cartouche featuring a putti, are hallmarks of this period's decorative arts. The platter's simple white glaze and intricate mold-made design create a visually striking and elegant piece, reflecting the refined taste of the Italian aristocracy during the 18th century. This piece can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
