Tureen and stand c. 1778 - 1782

This 18th-century tureen and stand, created by the artist Loosdrecht, exemplifies the delicate artistry of porcelain making. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is adorned with a charming pattern of pink ribbons and green foliage, a testament to the Rococo style's emphasis on elegance and intricate ornamentation. The stand's small size, measuring just 8.8 cm in height, 15.0 cm in width, and 11.3 cm in depth, suggests its use as a decorative element or for serving individual portions. This tureen and stand, a fine example of Dutch porcelain, provides a glimpse into the refined tastes and culinary practices of the 18th century.
