Dish c. 1700

This 18th-century "Dish" is a fine example of Frankfurt-am-Main pottery, a style known for its vibrant blue, yellow, and green floral motifs. This particular piece, now at the Art Institute of Chicago, features a bird perched amidst a lush, stylized garden, reflecting a popular decorative theme in European ceramics of the period. The dish's delicate scalloped rim and intricate detailing further enhance its aesthetic appeal, making it a beautiful example of German tin-glazed earthenware from the early 18th century.
