Description

White-bodied ceramic dessert plate decorated with stylized pink luster florals. The design stretches across both the well and the lip. At the very center is a pink floral sprig, encircled by a round band, giving a false impression of a small well. From the painted band to the rim, three oversized pink leaves with precise veining and scalloped edges point toward the center. Between the leaves are seven-petaled red and pink flowers surrounded by small pink and green leaves. The reverse bears two similar marks, both in pink luster: one in the form of an H with an extended curved tail on the right side, and the other GH with the H curved on the left side.
