18th Century French Porcelain Plate by Dagoty with Children at Play

About the Item

Made circa 1785, this plate features a deep cobalt blue border that is beautifully gilded with a dramatic geometric pattern. The burnished gilt is a hallmark of Dagoty porcelains. Inside the dramatic border is a wonderful scene of children playing leapfrog. The formal border contrasts with the informal scene of children at play. This juxtaposition is characteristic of 18th-century French porcelain; only the French produced pieces with this particular level of sophistication. In the last decade of the 18th century, Romanticism significantly influenced Dagoty porcelains. Anecdotal scenes, indoor settings, and depictions of children's games replaced the neoclassical subjects that were previously favored. These new themes convey a more human quality and create a much less rigid atmosphere. The borders continued to show neoclassical designs.
