Schotel, veelkleurig beschilderd bamboe en andere planten op grondje. Kakiemon-decor c. 1780

This small, delicate saucer, known as a "Schotel," was created in Loosdrecht, Netherlands, around 1780. It is a fine example of Dutch Kakiemon porcelain, a style that emulated the colorful and intricate designs of Japanese Kakiemon wares. The saucer features a central motif of a stylized plant with delicate branches and flowers, all rendered in vibrant hues of red, green, blue, and gold. The intricate details and charming floral patterns on this small dish demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship prevalent in 18th-century Dutch ceramics.
