Tea service for two people (tête-à-tête) c. 1782 - 1784

This porcelain plate, part of a tea service for two, was created by Loosdrecht circa 1782-1784. The plate, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a central oval panel depicting a bustling scene with figures in a port setting, likely a depiction of a European port during the 18th century. The outer rim of the plate is decorated with a repeating pattern of gold dots on a pale green background. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of the piece exemplify the artistry of porcelain production during this period.
