Dish 1757 - 1758

This silver dish, created by Edme-Pierre Balzac between 1757 and 1758, is a fine example of French Rococo silverware. The dish's simple, elegant form is accented by a scalloped rim and delicate floral motifs. The smooth, polished surface reflects light beautifully, enhancing the dish's understated elegance. This work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Balzac's skill as a silversmith during a period renowned for its refined craftsmanship and delicate ornamentation.
