Plate 1720 - 1735

This 18th-century plate, produced by the Meissen Manufactory, is a prime example of European porcelain decorated with chinoiserie motifs, a style inspired by East Asian art and culture that was popular in Europe at the time. The plate's design features birds perched on branches, a winding snake, and delicate floral patterns, showcasing the intricate artistry of Meissen's skilled painters. The plate is a testament to the fascination with the exotic and the growing demand for porcelain during the Rococo period.
