Saucer (part of a service) 1723 - 1726

This saucer, part of a tea service, is a fine example of the Meissen Manufactory's early work. Created between 1723 and 1726, the saucer features a delicate floral pattern and an elaborate scene of a Chinese figure with a delicate, almost ethereal quality. The use of gold highlights in the design is characteristic of the manufactory's early period, and the intricate details highlight the skill of the Meissen artisans. The saucer is a testament to the high quality and innovative design that defined the Meissen Manufactory's reputation.
