This 20th-century serving dish from the Royal Berlin China service is a prime example of the "Black-Figure Style," a technique popular in ancient Greek pottery. The scene depicts a charioteer and a warrior, rendered in black silhouette against a red background. The stylized figures and geometric patterns evoke a sense of ancient Greece, making this dish a unique and decorative object for any home. This piece, part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s collection, demonstrates the enduring appeal of Greek art and its influence on decorative arts throughout history.
