Saucer 1720 - 1745

This white porcelain saucer, made by the Saint-Cloud factory in France between 1720 and 1745, is a beautiful example of early 18th century French ceramic craftsmanship. The saucer is decorated with a delicate, embossed pattern of overlapping leaves, creating a subtle but elegant texture. The central well, designed for a cup, is a common feature of teacups and saucers from this period. The saucer is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Saint-Cloud factory, which was renowned for its high-quality porcelain. Today, this exquisite piece resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
