Slop bowl 1725 - 1735

This 18th-century porcelain slop bowl, created in Vienna, Austria, is a striking example of European ceramics inspired by Chinese aesthetics. The bowl's white body is adorned with delicate floral motifs in vibrant colors, reflecting the popular Chinoiserie style of the period. The intricate pattern on the rim, with its red and gold accents, further emphasizes the Eastern influence. The bowl's size and design suggest it was used for practical purposes within a household setting. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this piece, showcasing the artistic ingenuity of European porcelain production during the Baroque era.
