Plate, Food
1878-1890
Description
Porcelain plate with cobalt transfer-printed designs. The design comprises a patterned border along the outside edge, three hanging baskets with floral sprays separated by three small bouquets tied with a bow, and at the center the same border encircling an outdoor floral scene. In between one bouquet and hanging basket is a single floral branch. The bottom of one of the baskets did not transfer in the printing process. The underside of the plate has no decoration. The plate has an angled lip of 1 1/2" before the plate slopes to form the well. The underside is angled straight toward the base and shows no signs of the reverse side's slope into the well.
