Saucer 1725 - 1735

This 18th century saucer, likely made in Vienna between 1725 and 1735, is an excellent example of European porcelain production. It's decorated with a delicate floral motif in shades of grey, and an intricate border. This saucer is part of a tea or coffee set, featuring a unique open-work design, known as "pierced" or "cutwork" style. The combination of intricate details and delicate design emphasizes the elegance of the era. The saucer is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
