Pattipan met een veelkleurig landschap in een medaillon uitgespaard in een geometrisch patroon c. 1759 - 1771

This Dutch porcelain dish, produced by the Weesper porseleinfabriek between 1759 and 1771, showcases a combination of decorative styles. The central medallion depicts a pastoral landscape with a house and a bridge, highlighting the popular Rococo taste for idyllic scenes. The surrounding geometric pattern in a vibrant pink color, on the other hand, points to the growing influence of Neoclassical aesthetics. This dish exemplifies the transition in European design during the 18th century, where the Rococo's emphasis on asymmetry and ornamentation was gradually replaced by the Neoclassical preference for order and symmetry.
