Saucer with an image of Leda and the Swan c. 1725 - 1749

This 18th century Chinese porcelain saucer, depicting Leda and the Swan in a lush landscape, is an excellent example of the “Imari” style of porcelain, known for its vibrant colors and intricate designs. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, was likely produced for export to the European market, reflecting the growing popularity of chinoiserie in the West.
