This is a rare and magnificent 18th century soft past porcelain square serving dish. The dish is beautifully hand painted with blue cornflowers in the cornflower pattern.The cornflower pattern or as the French call it Barbeau, was introduced at Sevres about 1774 for French Queen Marie Antoinette. Cornflowers was her favorite flower. The cornflower pattern was subsequently produced at her Parisian porcelain factory on the rue Thiroux. This caused the pattern to be known as "decor de la Reine." This pattern is regarded as a classic Louis XVI porcelain pattern. This piece is from the 19th century collection of Mrs, W, Vanderbilt New York. The dish is 9 1/4 inches square. Some ware to the blue enamel on the rim.
