Stand 1760 - 1765

This oval-shaped plate, known as "Stand," was made in the Mennecy factory in France between 1760-1765. It is decorated with a delicate and colorful scene featuring exotic birds in a natural setting. The painting, executed in enamels, showcases the skilled craftsmanship of the Mennecy artists. The plate is a prime example of the high quality and aesthetic sophistication of French porcelain during this period, and it's currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The pink-toned border adds to the plate's overall elegance. The piece is a delightful representation of the Rococo style, with its emphasis on natural forms and delicate ornamentation.
