Oval dish 1702 - 1703

This oval silver dish, created by French silversmith Pierre Platel in 1702-1703, is a fine example of early 18th-century decorative arts. The dish, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a simple yet elegant piece showcasing Platel’s skill in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing objects. The dish’s smooth, reflective surface and subtle raised rim contribute to its understated beauty.
