Saucer 1720 - 1740

This saucer, made in Vienna between 1720 and 1740, is a fine example of European porcelain from the early 18th century. The piece is decorated with delicate floral motifs in a black and white palette, inspired by Chinese porcelain designs. The saucer's rim features a repeating border pattern of small, scalloped shapes, adding a touch of elegance to the design. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Vienna porcelain factory and its ability to produce high-quality ceramics that were highly sought after during the period.
