Plate 1740 - 1750

This blue and white porcelain plate, produced by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory between 1740 and 1750, is a fine example of Italian 18th-century decorative arts. The plate features a delicate floral motif, characteristic of the Doccia Manufactory's style. Its delicate blue and white palette and intricate design reflect the influence of Chinese porcelain, which was highly sought after in Europe at the time. The plate is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
