Oval dish 1767 - 1769

This oval silver dish, created by Christian Drentwett II between 1767 and 1769, is a beautiful example of Rococo style. The dish features a simple, elegant design with a gently undulating rim, reflecting the Rococo aesthetic's emphasis on flowing lines and asymmetrical forms. Drentwett II, a prominent silversmith of his time, produced this piece for the domestic setting, highlighting the refined taste of the era. The dish is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
