Bread Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White plate with a wide rim and a central design. The rim has a thin orange border with a rope-like pattern. A wider orange border encircles the center with a twisted rope design. The center features a crest: a shield with a black center and three white shapes on it, surrounded by colorful floral elements and two birds. A bird perches on top of the crest. The rim is decorated with scattered floral motifs in shades of pink, purple, and green. The plate's edge is outlined in orange. The plate, titled "Bread Plate", is by the artist Chippendale.
