Cup Plate

Ralph Stevenson & Williams

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round plate with a raised edge. The plate is decorated with a scene of a large building with a sign that reads "ANDREWS MUSEUM". The building has three stories, with a triangular roof and a weather vane on top. There are several windows on each floor and a set of stairs leading up to the entrance. To the right of the main building is a smaller building. In front of the main building is a fenced-in area with a picket fence. The plate's edge is decorated with a pattern of fruits, leaves, and flowers. The plate appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain.
