Plate c. 1760 - 1780

This delicate porcelain plate, dating back to 1760-1780, was crafted by Joseph A. Hannong. The plate features a central floral motif of a pink carnation and other flowers in red, green, yellow, and blue on a white ground. The rim of the plate is adorned with a gold trim and additional floral designs. This piece, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a prime example of the ornate and elegant ceramics that were popular during the Rococo period. It reflects the artistry and technical skill of ceramic makers in the 18th century.
