Saucer with a bird in a landscape, foliate scrolls and garlands c. 1790 - 1800

This porcelain saucer, produced in Faubourg St. Denis, France, around the late 18th century, showcases a delicate depiction of a bird perched in a landscape. The central scene is framed by an intricate border of foliate scrolls and garlands, executed in vibrant colors and enhanced with gold accents. This decorative style, characteristic of French porcelain of the period, reflects the influence of neoclassical trends. The saucer's small size, measuring just 3.1 cm in height and 13.1 cm in diameter, suggests it was part of a tea or coffee set, a popular item in aristocratic households during this era.
