Six saucers (part of a service) 1755 - 1765

This saucer, part of a service produced by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory between 1755 and 1765, is a stunning example of Italian Rococo porcelain. The delicate, hand-painted floral motifs and intricate, molded rocaille design on its rim showcase the artistry of the Doccia factory. The saucer’s white ground and raised, gilded decoration create a luxurious effect that was highly sought-after by European aristocracy in the 18th century. This piece, currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the technical mastery and artistic ingenuity of the Italian porcelain industry during the Rococo period.
