"Centerpiece" is a porcelain dish with a three-dimensional bouquet of flowers and fruits, made by the Coalport porcelain factory between 1835 and 1845. This type of ceramic artwork, commonly called "tableware," was intended to be displayed on a dining table. The highly realistic depiction of nature with vibrant colors was popular during the Victorian era. The dish, on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, stands on three ornate feet and measures 10 3/4 inches in diameter.
