Plate

Cleveland Museum of Art

The plate by artist Spode has a white background. The plate's center features a white bird on an orange-red circle; the bird perches on an altar-like object with a long neck, facing left, and extends its right wing. The inner ring displays curved dark orange leaves on a white background. The outer ring features green squares adorned with white Chinese architectural details in a symmetrical arrangement; a twisted vine-like silver design surrounds the green squares on an orange-red background. The plate sits on a gray gradient background that darkens towards the top.
