Description

Manufactured by the Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin, this plate is decorated with elegant gilding around the perimeter and yellow flowers with green leaves.
A circular porcelain plate features a white center and a rim decorated with three symmetrical plant clusters. Branching gold lines extend from the edge, holding three-lobed green leaves and small yellow buds. The motifs are positioned at the top and lower sides, connected by sweeping gold curves. A fine gold border traces the plate's slightly scalloped rim, accentuating the elegant, organic flow of the floral designs.
