This 18th-century French saucer, produced by the Saint-Cloud factory, is a charming example of the popular "trembleuse" style. The saucer's distinctive feature is its central well, designed to hold a small cup that would tremble when the saucer was touched, adding a playful element to the tea service. The saucer's decoration features a whimsical scene with figures in a landscape, showcasing the factory's skilled craftsmanship and the popularity of pastoral motifs during this period. The saucer is a testament to the artistry and decorative techniques employed by the Saint-Cloud factory in the early 18th century.
