Saucer with flowers c. 1837 - 1844

This porcelain saucer, produced by the Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur (KPM) between 1837 and 1844, features a simple yet elegant design. The white porcelain is adorned with a delicate border of hand-painted wildflowers in various colors, creating a cheerful and delicate aesthetic. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the craftsmanship of KPM, a renowned German porcelain factory known for its high-quality ceramics. The saucer's small size and delicate floral motif suggest it was likely part of a larger tea or coffee set, emphasizing the importance of refined dining and social rituals in the 19th century.
