This 18th-century saucer, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory, displays a delicate design of a bird perched on a blossoming branch. The silhouette-like imagery is executed in a striking blue and white palette, typical of Meissen porcelain, and enclosed by an elegant, scalloped border. This piece, showcasing the craftsmanship of the renowned Meissen factory, exemplifies the popular European fascination with Asian aesthetics, particularly during the early 18th century.
