Schotel, beschilderd met korenbloemen c. 1784

This small, delicate saucer, painted with cornflowers, was made around 1784 in the Netherlands. The simple design and elegant execution make it a charming example of Dutch decorative arts. The saucer, part of a larger set, exemplifies the 18th-century fascination with nature and botanical motifs. Today, it is a treasured part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic tastes of a bygone era.
