Plate 1760 - 1780

This 18th-century French plate, crafted by Paul Antoine Hannong, is a stunning example of faience, a type of tin-glazed earthenware. The delicate floral motifs, including a prominent pink carnation, are painted in vibrant colors against a white background, showcasing the artistry of the Hannong family's renowned Strasbourg faience workshop. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of European ceramics.
