Bowl 1730 - 1745

This 18th-century porcelain bowl, crafted in Vienna between 1730 and 1745, is a prime example of the Rococo style. Its delicate, asymmetrical design, featuring a vase of flowers and intricate scrollwork, is characteristic of the period. The use of gold gilding and vibrant colors, including pink, purple, and green, adds to the ornate aesthetic. The bowl's elegant form and elaborate ornamentation demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship in European porcelain production during the Rococo era. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this bowl showcases the beauty and artistry of this popular historical style.
