Saucer with a bouquet and flower sprays c. 1900 - 1949

This saucer with a bouquet and flower sprays was probably made at the Kaiserliche Porzellanmanufaktur by an anonymous painter, we don't know when. I love the casual placement of the flowers; it’s as if the painter was having a good day, feeling free and loose. The colors feel both vibrant and delicate. The central rose, lush and pink, is the star, but the smaller sprays add a playful rhythm. I’m particularly drawn to the way the red outline of the rim contrasts with the softness of the floral details; it's a confident stroke that anchors the whole piece, a frame for the garden party in the center. You can almost feel the brush dancing across the porcelain. It reminds me a little of the painter Morandi, who could make simple objects sing with a quiet intensity. Here, the artist transforms a humble saucer into a small celebration of color, gesture, and joy. The piece embraces imperfection; its beauty lies in its gentle, unassuming charm.
