This magnificent round Meissen porcelain dish is adorned with a delicate Kakiemon design, inspired by 17th-century Japanese porcelain, which the famous Saxon manufacturer masterfully adapted in the 18th century.
The polychrome design features a flying crane holding a branch, a fantastical winged red dragon, as well as stylized flowers, foliage, and insects, in a composition that is both ethereal and poetic. The vibrant colors—vermilion red, cobalt blue, soft green, and bright yellow—are typical of Kakiemon palettes. The rim is accented with a refined gold border. Brand:
