About the Work

This large, lobed dish or plooischotel is a fine example of the floral style that became fashionable in Dutch silver in the second half of the 17th century. Eight boldly embossed flowers decorate the wide, scalloped rim of this dish, each in an auricular-style cartouche. A style that emerged in the first half of the 17th century.

Plooischotels like this one are extremely rare today because so few have survived, but they were more common in the 17th century. Even then, they were special objects, used mainly as showpieces and depicted as such in paintings.
