Plate 1745 - 1755

This exquisite plate was crafted by the Le Nove Porcelain Manufactory, showcasing vibrant floral and avian motifs painted on porcelain. At the heart, an arrangement of flowers bursts forth from a stylized basket, crowned by a perching bird. These symbols are deeply rooted in the visual language of hope and renewal, harking back to ancient associations of flora with springtime and rebirth. The bird, often a symbol of the soul's journey, can be seen as a messenger between earthly and spiritual realms. Consider how similar avian depictions appear in ancient Egyptian art, guiding souls toward rebirth, or in Renaissance paintings, where birds often represent divine presence. The composition evokes a sense of life's cyclical nature. This imagery touches on our collective memory, resonating with an innate human desire for continuity and transcendence. Such symbols engage us on a profound, subconscious level, embodying the eternal dance of life, death, and renewal.
