Scallop-shaped covered bowl with a leaf-shaped stand with dragon c. 1775 - 1799

This anonymous, 18th-century, Delftware covered bowl from the Rijksmuseum is a beautiful example of the Dutch tradition of ceramic art. The bowl is shaped like a scallop shell and is supported by a leaf-shaped stand. The bowl's lid, also in the shape of a scallop shell, is adorned with a delicate dragon design. The rich, turquoise glaze adds to the overall charm of this piece. The bowl measures 12 cm in height and 19.5 cm in length.
