Dish 1765 - 1775

This square porcelain dish, made by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company between 1765 and 1775, showcases the influence of Japanese Imari ware, a style of porcelain characterized by bold floral motifs in shades of blue, red, and gold. The dish, which is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the fascination with East Asian art prevalent in 18th-century Europe. The intricate floral patterns and use of bright colors are a hallmark of Imari porcelain, demonstrating the influence of this style on Western ceramic production during the period.
