Meissen Porcelain Leaf Dish Hand Painted Floral 18th Century Circa 1770

This large Meissen porcelain leaf dish has the movement, delicacy, and natural charm that make 18th century Meissen so desirable.
The molded leaf form gives the piece a lively silhouette, with a shaped edge, fine veining, and a broad white ground that sets off the decoration beautifully.
Hand-painted floral sprigs and bouquets are scattered asymmetrically across the surface in pink, purple, yellow, orange, and green, a light and graceful arrangement that reflects the Rococo taste for naturalistic ornament.
A gilt rim crisply defines the outline and adds a note of richness without disturbing the freshness of the design.
The scale gives the dish strong presence, making it an exciting display piece as well as a beautiful example of 18th century Meissen porcelain.

Background

Meissen porcelain decorated with loose bouquets of flowers was a popular motif during the Rococo period. These floral decorations were highly sought after and represented the delicate and naturalistic aesthetic of the time.
The bouquets were often composed of various types of flowers which were meticulously hand-painted with great attention to detail, capturing the colors, shapes, and textures of the different blooms.
