Plate 1795 - 1805

This blue and white porcelain plate, produced in Tournai between 1795 and 1805, features a central motif of a shield surrounded by various weapons including a sword, crossbow, and arrow. The plate's design is contained within a laurel wreath, a symbol of victory and triumph, and is characteristic of the decorative style popular in the late 18th century. The plate is a prime example of Tournai's renowned porcelain production and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
