Saucer with a putto on clouds 1785

This small, delicately-painted porcelain saucer, created by Ansbach in 1785 and now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a putto on clouds. The putto is shown in a playful pose, holding a branch of flowers, a common theme in 18th-century decorative arts. The saucer's rim is adorned with a gilded, stylized rope pattern and features a small decorative border of flower motifs, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
