A circular cream earthenware plate is defined by a thin black rim. Positioned off-center to the left, a stylized foxglove plant rises vertically from the base. A slender green stem with sharp leaves supports a cluster of bell-shaped flowers in deep purple, dusty pink, and maroon, each blossom bordered by a dark outline. The rest of the smooth surface remains undecorated, emphasizing the verticality of the botanical spray.
