This "Saucer" from the Vincennes Manufactory, dated 1759, is a beautiful example of French porcelain. The saucer features a white ground with delicate floral patterns in blue and white, with an elegant gold trim. The saucer embodies the French Rococo style, characterized by asymmetry and playful floral motifs, popular in the 18th century. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry of the Vincennes Manufactory, a key player in the development of European porcelain.
