Schotel, beschilderd met pluimvee in een landschap c. 1782 - 1784

This small, hand-painted saucer, likely part of a larger tea set, was produced in the Netherlands around 1782-1784. It showcases a delicate depiction of a grey partridge or a guinea fowl, perched on a small mound with foliage, amidst a landscape accented by a few flowers. The piece's intricate detail and fine porcelain, adorned with a gold rim, reflect the artistry of the Loosdrecht factory, known for its exquisite ceramics. This saucer is a prime example of Dutch decorative arts during the late 18th century, demonstrating the flourishing of porcelain production and the appreciation for natural imagery.
