Condiment Dish

Union Porcelain Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White porcelain dish with gold trim and blue floral accents. The dish has an irregular shape with a wavy edge and a flat bottom. The top edge is scalloped. Gold lines form a symmetrical design on the dish, consisting of a large cross with a decorative element at the top and a shell-like motif at the bottom. The cross is made up of lines of small rectangles, resembling bricks. Two blue and gold floral motifs are on either side. The background of the image is dark gray, with the dish casting a slight shadow. The overall style is ornate and decorative. Condiment Dish by Union Porcelain Works.
