This porcelain sweetmeat dish, made by the Bow Porcelain Factory in England around 1760, features a charming figure dressed in Turkish attire. The figure, likely inspired by European fascination with the Ottoman Empire, sits atop a base adorned with elaborate rococo scrolls and holds a large, scallop shell dish. The dish is painted with vibrant colors and intricate details, characteristic of the Bow factory's style. This piece, now in the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the factory's mastery of porcelain production and its engagement with contemporary trends.
