Saucer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a wide, shallow dish with a scalloped edge. The dish is predominantly white with a gold rim. The center of the dish features a circular gold-rimmed area with an image of a bird perched on a branch with leaves and flowers. Surrounding this central image are five oval-shaped sections, each containing a different floral or bird design. These sections are arranged in a symmetrical pattern around the center of the dish. The background of the dish is filled with intricate green, orange, and gold designs, including flowers, leaves, and vines. The dish is set against a gray gradient background, with the top half being darker than the bottom half.
