Plate 1760 - 1770

This octagonal porcelain plate, created by the Bow Porcelain Factory in England between 1760 and 1770, showcases the popular Chinoiserie style of the 18th century. The plate features a hand-painted scene of a Chinese figure seated beneath a tree, holding a circular object, perhaps a fan or a musical instrument. The intricate details of the design, including the delicate floral patterns and the stylized landscape, demonstrate the skilled craftsmanship of the Bow factory. This plate is a prime example of the fascination with Eastern aesthetics that characterized European art during this period.
