Description

The round charger and oval platter have scalloped rims decorated in a blue "feather-edge" pattern. A neo-classical two-handled urn is painted in the center and surrounded by a narrow green wreath with red and blue floral motifs at the cardinal points. Four small floral sprays occur outside the wreath at the cardinal points. These two objects appear to be the same pattern as C 61.18.
