Dish with Peony

late 17th–early 18th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 463
This small dish was probably a saucer for a handleless cup, part of a larger tea set. Its green opalescent glass might have been meant to imitate green jade, a popular medium for luxury objects of this period.
