Dish
attributed to Gerloff Brouwer, 1661
The love of flowers so evident in the Netherlands in the third quarter of the 17th century is well demonstrated in this dish. The scalloped edge gives the dish the form of a flower. Moreover, it is decorated with various identifiable flowers, with putti nestled among them. A man and a woman weaving a floral wreath are depicted in the centre of the dish.
