This porcelain dish, crafted by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory in Italy between 1755 and 1775, showcases the Rococo style with its delicate floral motifs and scalloped edges. The intricate design, featuring a central cluster of stylized flowers and a border of smaller floral accents, is painted in vibrant colors on a white background. The Doccia Manufactory, known for its fine porcelain, produced a range of tableware and decorative objects, reflecting the tastes and trends of the 18th century. This dish, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Italian porcelain during this period.
