VINTAGE ARNART PORCELAIN COURTING COUPLE CRESCENT DISH

This exquisite and highly decorative small dish is an authentic piece imported by Arnart Creations (often sold under names like Arnart 5th Avenue or Royal Vienna Arnart). Arnart specialized in importing "Victorian" style porcelain pieces featuring romantic, 18th-century European motifs. Manufacturer: Attributed to Ar art Creations (an importer of Japanese/Taiwanese porcelain). Style: Inspired by the expensive European Meissen/Dresden pieces, featuring the iconic Fragonard-style courting couple vignettes in six separate, gold-framed segments. Coloration: Features a beautiful, soft baby pink background in the center, richly decorated with intricate gold stencil work and bold, heavy gold trim throughout the entire dish. Shape: Distinctive crescent or half-moon shape, which is a desirable form for collectors of vanity and decorative dishes. Function: Perfect as a trinket dish, ring dish, individual bonbon or candy holder, or simply as a charming decorative accent for a vanity, dresser, or shelf in a Grandmillennial or Rococo aesthetic. 5” l x 1” h. This item is in beautiful vintage condition. Given the age and material (imported porcelain with applied gold trim), there may be slight, minor wear to the gold finish in places, which is common and expected. Please examine all photos closely.
