Description
Oval porcelain dish with a cobalt colored transfer-printed design. The lip of the dish is 5/8" wide and the interior edge is patterned with a border made up of alternating curved lines. From the border, extending into the interior of the dish, are four hanging baskets each with two large floral branches. Separating the baskets are three small bouquets tied with a bow at the bottom. At the center there is a floral scene encircled by the same patterned border around the lip's edge. The underside of the dish is not decorated. The sides increase in width from the base for about 1 3/8" at which point they turn, forming the underside of the lip.
