Serving Dish with Lattice Edge from a Royal Berlin China Service c. 20th century

This 20th-century serving dish, part of a Royal Berlin China service, is a stunning example of decorative art. The dish features a black-figure design on a red ground reminiscent of ancient Greek pottery. Depicted is a chariot race, with four horses pulling a chariot driven by two charioteers. The scene is framed by a lattice edge design. This dish demonstrates the enduring influence of ancient Greek art on modern design, and would have been a beautiful and functional piece in any royal household.
