Schotel, beschilderd met planken waarop prenten zijn bevestigd c. 1778 - 1782

This cup and saucer, created by the artist Loosdrecht between 1778 and 1782, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of Dutch porcelain. The piece features a delicate white porcelain base with a decorative band of brown wooden planks adorned with small black details. The planks themselves are decorated with small squares displaying black-and-white vignettes. This design, known as "wood-panelled" in Dutch decorative arts, adds a layer of textural depth to the porcelain, contrasting the smooth surface with a rustic, faux-wood element. The gold accents around the edges of the panels and the delicate gold line at the base of the cup and saucer add a touch of refined elegance, making this piece a perfect example of the sophisticated Dutch porcelain design of the late 18th century.
