Vase c. 1760

This delicate porcelain vase, crafted by French artist Jean-Claude Duplessis around 1760, exemplifies the Rococo style. Its elegant form, adorned with hand-painted floral motifs and a vibrant bird perched on a branch, showcases the period's penchant for delicate and ornate decoration. The vase's blue and gold accents, particularly on the scalloped base, add a touch of grandeur, making it a charming and valuable example of 18th-century French porcelain. The vase is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
