Bowl with cover 1730 - 1745

This 18th-century porcelain bowl with cover, made at the Saint-Cloud factory in France, exemplifies the popular Chinoiserie style. The delicate floral and landscape motifs, painted in vibrant colors, reflect the fascination with East Asian art and design that characterized the era. The piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the technical skill and artistic creativity of the Saint-Cloud factory. The bowl and cover demonstrate the influence of Chinese porcelain on European ceramics, and the intricate details and vibrant colors showcase the artistry of the time.
