What the image shows
A blue and white decorative plate with a scalloped edge.
Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
This plate is part of a dinner service commissioned by Louis Joseph, duke of Bourbon, prince of Condé. Painted with his coat of arms, composed of three fleur-de-lys encircled by a cord holding up a pendant with the order of the Holy Spirit and surmounted by the prince’s own crown, this plate’s decoration reinforces the prince’s position as an elite member of the French royal court. The glaze of this plate contains tin, an early practice used at the Chantilly porcelain factory that counteracted the yellowish tint of the soft-paste porcelain with a white, opaque finish.
