Plate 001

Dessert plate, flat collar (approx. 5 cm wide), slightly recessed mirror, flat bottom with a rather distinct foot.
Decoration in white and green colours in the form of a rotating rosette, composed of stylized single floral motifs on a stem with a leaf, arranged radially in two concentrically arranged circles, the central point of which is a fancy star painted in the centre of the mirror. The inner circle is based on the star pattern in the arrangement: flower cup - stem - flower cup.
There are floral motifs on the plate mirror arranged in seven rays, and 15 floral motifs on the collar. It is a variation of a pattern with an even number of floral motifs, with two motifs antithetically facing each other.
The inner surface of the plate is glazed with transparent glaze and a biscuit bottom.
