This small, round porcelain plaque, crafted in Vienna between 1720 and 1730, showcases a delicate floral motif. The design, painted in shades of pink, orange, and green, features a central branch adorned with blossoms and leaves, extending outwards to the edge of the plaque. This piece, currently residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the refined taste of 18th-century European porcelain production, drawing inspiration from the popular Chinoiserie style that embraced East Asian aesthetics.
