Plate 1745 - 1755

This octagonal porcelain plate, produced by the Bow Porcelain Factory between 1745 and 1755, showcases the delicate artistry of 18th-century English ceramics. The plate’s white ground is adorned with a vibrant floral pattern painted in a palette of pinks, blues, yellows, and greens. The rim features a raised, molded design of stylized flowers and foliage, adding a textural element to the piece. The Bow Porcelain Factory, known for its innovative use of materials and designs, was instrumental in popularizing porcelain production in England. This plate, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the factory's craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of its fine porcelain.
