Dish; Company of the Indies, 18th century.
Pucelana following models of Familia rosa.
Measurements: 2.5 x 23 cm.
Dish made of porcelain, decorated on the eaves with flowers in the same way as in the central area. The piece is aesthetically part of the Pink Family of Canton, characterised by the use of opaque white enamel and by the predominance of light and very luminous tones, especially pink and green. This is a style typical of ceramics exported to Europe, developed mainly during the second half of the 19th century. It is an ornate and highly ornamental style, usually decorated with figurative scenes, and mainly characterised by the use of a broader palette than that of the normal Rose Family, dominated by light and bright shades, mainly pinks and greens.
