An exquisite example of 19th-century Meissen craftsmanship, this reticulated tazza from the 1850s showcases the delicate elegance of blue and white underglaze painting, a hallmark of Meissen porcelain tradition.
The shallow bowl rests on a slender, elevated stem, creating a refined pedestal form. Its pierced lattice rim offers a sense of lightness and air, while the central scene is adorned with hand-painted insects — beetles, and dragonflies — depicted with scientific precision and artistic whimsy, evoking the Enlightenment-era fascination with natural history. A rare find for serious collectors of antique European porcelain, or for those seeking a timeless statement piece with both artistic and historical resonance.
