Saucer 1760 - 1770

This 18th-century saucer, produced by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory in Italy, features a delicate design of two roosters facing each other beneath a leafy branch, all rendered in shades of red and green. This piece showcases the artistry of the Doccia Manufactory, known for its high-quality porcelain and elaborate, often chinoiserie-inspired, decorative motifs. This saucer, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the sophistication and elegance of Italian porcelain during the 18th century.
