Stand with a putto on clouds 1785

This 1785 porcelain dish by Ansbach features a putto, or winged cherub, standing amidst purple clouds. The delicate figure is painted in a fine detail, showcasing a delicate rendering of the putto's wings and the fluffy texture of the clouds. The rim is decorated with a gilded rope design, a testament to the fine craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The dish was likely part of a larger tea or coffee service, a popular form of tableware during the 18th century. The use of the putto, a symbol of innocence and love, adds a touch of playful charm to this elegant piece.
